I'm still a fan of the old 270. Does what I ask without any fuss or thought to range est with a standard 3-9 scope out to 400m. Drops them on the spot if I do my part.
My old 7mm08 Tikka T3 jumped around more than my heavier Tikka 695 in 270, 22# barrel whihc I enjoy shooting. Yes, blast is sharp and up there. Personally, I don't notice it when I'm shooting game.
If you need more stopping power, the likes of the 150 grain partition and TTSX projectiles are hard hitter. I've never used them but here good things from those that do.
Had some 110 TTSX loaded for me and recoil dropped and so did the deer like stones out to 350m, shot flat and true.
I still think the 270 has legs mate. Good luck with your decision.
