Who hates a .270 Winchester?

There are some animals in Canada and elsewhere which one can legally hunt with the 308 that they cannot with the 6.5 Creedmoor
That was the practicality that came to mind for me. In the sense that one could give you more options than the other in that way
I own a .270 and while I do not use it much any longer I did for a long long time. Having the opportunity to hit game a distance and maintain energy is a great thing. But I will admit it is a "gap" cartridge. I can down load a 30 cal, and up load 6mm to achieve the same however with that being said why NOT fill the gap lol
I like the comment earlier that most all of the centrefire cartridges based on either the 3006 or 308 case are entirely suffcient for nearly all north american game ......
With usual caveat of proper bullet construction and well plqced shots within the cartridges range
Aure one can blather on and chest thump over various cartridges and rifles .....but it is just that
270 is a great flat shooting high energy cartridge with widely available ammo of various bullets
Anyone looking down on it is foolish

BC has the bison regulation, 175gr minimum bullet weight + 2000 ft lbs energy @ 100M
Basically weeds out the 270 & 30-30 Win
Stupid regulation that doesn't factor in bullet construction. A 308 Win 175gr Sierra Matchking is legal, a 270 Win with a 140gr Barnes TSX is illegal
Definitely! At least the 7mms qualify. i think Yukon has a 30 cal limit as part of their rule.
I was being careful to point out the legal requirements and not yknow, actual real world requirements. Would shoot anything a 308 is legal for with a 270 or 6.5 CM.
