My .270 is a recent experiment as I had a 270 barrel on the bench after rebarelling another rifle, and then finally shooting out the barrel in my 2506ai gave the 270 barrel a new home, may yet pull it (or sell the rifle) and build a .25 Gibbs instead, have a really good 7mm Mag that shades the .270 by too big a margin.( and an 8.5 lb 7mm Mag doesn't have the amusing recoil that a 6 lb .270 loaded hot does!). Obviously, the .270 has a long and successful history but this one is my first, and I have found the 150's best for terminal performance in the limited game numbers shot with it .
