[QUOTE='Boo]Bull####! LoL
Show me the 270 that will throw a 180 grain bullet at 2800 fps and I "might" agree with you. LoL
The only question on my mind is what your asking price is going to be on your 300 wsm once you realize what the old '06 is capable of!

AH HA!!!
Just what i've been waiting for!!
With todays bullets, who cares if the 270 can throw a 180gr bullet at 2800fps?
An 150gr X bullet from a 270 will travel along at 2900fps, and I doubt very much you will see a difference in killing power betwen it and any 180gr bullet you use in a 30-06.
I have seen a 160 gr .284 bullet at 2850fps completley penetrate both shoulders of a grizzly bear...I don't think that a 270 with 150gr X would be much different, or that a 30-06 with 180 gr X would make that bear any deader, and that bear did a 'Bang Flop"
With todays "super bullets" we don't necesarily need to rely on a heavy bullet to get the job done!
(And anyways, barnes claims thier 180gr Barnes Original .270 bullet will go at 2762 FPS, and that is pretty close to 2800fps. Even with a bit of fudging, I wouldn't be surprised if the velocity is close to that- 2700fps, anyway...)
And no, you won't see my 300WSM on the auction block any time soon. I have used the 30-06 and I wel now what it is capable of....It's a great cartridge, one that I often reccomend...But as you know, it's all abotu being KOOL, and the 300WSM has KOOL factor in spades, while the 30-06 is ...well...BORING!!!
