RE: 2nd Caliber opinion: .270 Win.
Its pretty much ideal for a hunter who wants to go to walmart, buy a box of shells and be set for hunting. Nothing wrong with the .270.
I'd rather have a .280, 7x57, or a 284 winchester
as 7mm's are alot more versatile to those who reload.
Even the 6.5 Swede gives up very little to the .270 if handloaded to its potential.
