I am looking for a good all around caliber and am thinking either a 270 or 308. What are your guys thoughts?

Click here... It's already been discussed.

Edit: I personally favor the .308 due to its legendary accuracy and besides, the ammo is cheaper. The .308 and .270 both will do the job.

Yes.

CAN'T GO WRONG WITH EITHER CALIBERS, I HAVE BOTH AND HAVE TAKEN DEER WITH THEM BOTH. MY CHOICE FOR THE LAST 30 YEARS IS THE .270 IN A REMINGTON MODEL BDL WITH A RAMLINE STOCK. HAVE SHOT ONLY HANDLOADS FROM MY .270 SINCE IT WAS NEW.

MOOSE

I own and love both, but if I could only have one I would pick the 270 Winchester!

Go with the .308.... It is a great round, with heavier bullets available in factory loadings.

It is also a short action caliber, and is available in more compact firearms than the .270. It is available in standard size guns, but if you want a Remington Model 7 ora Ruger M77 Compact or something like those, you have to get the .308 as they are not made in .270, and I love the shorter guns. They carry and point easier, and they are a lot more user friendly in a tree stand.

I own both of the guns mentioned above, and they see more use than any of my standard length guns, or the long action cal's.

Good luck
