Thread: .270 is the best caliber ever made.

[QUOTE=whanahuia;1622703]

Cartridges like the 6.5 CM, 6.5 PRC and 6.8 Western embrace the characteristics that are good and impressive about the .270 Winchester, just execute it better and more efficiently./QUOTE]

Just running through load data, and the 6.5 PRC uses about the same amount of powder, for very similar velocities. Wheres the added efficiency?

One hell of a lot of those sorts of claims are more part of marketing and keeping people buying new stuff.

My prediction is the Creedmore will settle down just as the 7/08 did before it. Hardly see a 7/08 nowadays.

It's been out for 17 years already, doesn't seem to be fading away much so far. I'd probably buy a 6.5 x 47 in preference to a Creedmoor, but I have been told I'm occasionally somewhat contrary.

Of course, the guy who said that was wrong.

Even Jack O'Connor admitted the 280 was better than the 270. As does anyone with a functioning frontal cortex, but with RWS making 7x64 brass that would be even betterer.
