Thread: 270 cal-which one??

the .270 is, from a scientific perspective far superior to most. I have loaded it with 49 grains of OMG, and the trajectory is not only flat, but actually curves slightly up due to the 'von sahne' effect.
recoil is manly, and the percussive effect of the Hornady Depleted Uranium (HDU) projectiles is devastating at ranges up to seven kilometers.

Loaded down with ground up detonators, it is a dream to plink with and I regularly head shot magpies (standing),

Reloading costs for the .270 is by far cheaper than anything else due to its popularity. (my HDU loads cost $0.27)

Brass lasts for at least 30-40 reloads as it does not require sizing.

The only draw back from this cartridge is its obvious excess in power.... Hunting is humane, but impractical due to the targets limbs and torso separating/disintegrating upon impact.
And gong shooting gets expensive as even s.p. projectiles crater the hardest of alloys.

So, apart from being superior cartridge in every way. The .270 has a lack of popularity due to its extreme power.
