About LinkBacksI know people on these forums love these posts so I thought I'd start one. It's not really a one calibre vs another thread, I'm more interested in peoples experiences with both calibres, not recommendations of one calibre over the other.
Any opinions/experiences appreciated

Have had both a long time go. Brought a new Sako .270 in 1986 and man was it heavy but otherwise a good gun. Worked as advertised, Boom / Flop but did I mention it was heavy. Then found a S/H Remington 700 Mountain Rifle in 25/06 with a 25 inch barrel. Sold the Sako and brought it. far and away the best centrefire I have owned for shooting. Dot used on everything from Rabbits to what ever.
All my hunting was in Southen Alps (Rakaia and Rangitata )
Sold it in a fit of stupidity cause i just had to have a 7-08, Always regretted it and sold that to help fund the first house.Hunt4life likes this.Trust the dog.........................................ALWAYS Trust the dog!!

If game can tell the difference between a 270 and 280 they are smarter than I thought. Originally Posted by Savage .223

I've used .270 quite a bit. When I got into handloading I realised that it was a really stupid cartridge.

I actually did when I was looking for my first deer rifle. "Less drop for the long shots" they say. Nobody thought of wind. Originally Posted by gimp

Why is it a stupid cartridge for handloading, and particular reason? Originally Posted by Beavis
