    The thing is a lot of guns end up with a suppressor.
    The 270 is excellent for farmland and open top ( and the moors of Scotland;-) and when you don't have to go in tight bush. And it is still good with a suppressor and left full length.but it's recoil can put off a lot of people.
    As soon as you go bush, you are better off with a 7-08 or a 308. And even if you mix bush/ farmland or bush/ further distance (350 to 400) you won't be undergunned with these two.
    Now cartridge selection. I just looked at the guncity website as an indication:
    - 7-08: 15 different types of cartridges and probably not all available ( one retailer told me there was a bit of a shortage of them at the moment)
    - 270 : 26
    -308: 49

    I hope that will help.
