    Why is the .270 dying?

    I just saw Cristensens new Evoke is also a fast twist. I won't reload for the cartridge though so if factory ammo isn't also loaded heavy then I probably would never see the advantage.

    Why is the .270 dying?

    I think that people not buying new rifles is entirely the cause of the death. If people stop buying rifles chambered in it then ammo will start to die off as the current 20-30 year old become the 60-70 year old and doesn't own any .270's. That being said, I don't think it will be completely...

    Why is the .270 dying?

    I do really like the 280 AI in every way except rifle and ammo availability and cost. I've pushed myself to go down that road a few times but always come back to the same issue of wanting to shoot more for the same amount of money and I dont enjoy reloading.

    Why is the .270 dying?

    I did think about that. However, I've gone down the reloading road before and didn't enjoy it. I still have all the stuff and recently switched to shooting the new Norma tip strike in my .308 so I can have good reloading brass. But, I've always been able to find a factory load that suits my...

    Why is the .270 dying?

    Thanks for the info on twist rates being "out of date" in the .270. That is good to know. I guess that falls in line with what I was reading about modern shaped bullets not coming around as fast in the .270 as they are the 30 cals.

    Why is the .270 dying?

    while I can shoot a .308 to 1k. It doesn't hurt to have a better advantage. The desert spot i was hunting pronghorn in last year and late season elk this year rarely (less than 2 hours per day) goes below a 10mph wind. It often is around 15 and sometimes goes above 20. My current .308 load will...

    Why is the .270 dying?

    I can shoot .30-06, just not in the scrappy first gen axis. Also, I put a suppressor on everything now which I couldn't do with the axis. I had a begarra .30-06 that I can run just fine.

    Gotcha, can you explain further on slower twist rates? I haven't heard anyone bring this up before.

    Why is the .270 dying?

    My first was the first generation savage axis in .30-06 that i also got at 16. I keep dumping money into it every now and again and still hate shooting it lol.

    Why is the .270 dying?

    Sad day, seekins doesn't make anything in a .270. Their PH2 is my current favorite. Agreed on ammo availability. However, sheels has over 2x the amount of 6.5 prc rifles for sale than they do .270.

    Why is the .270 dying?

    TLDR: retailers and internet traffic is showing that while .270 is still popular with the existing crowds. It is getting blown out of the water on gun sales by new comers like 6.5 prc and is slowly going to die off. Why? Background: I've got a couple of rifles that shoot fairly well but aren't...

    Tripods for idiots

    So, I'm an idiot and would like a tripod. Use case: - Spotting in the desert and clamping in a rifle to get over the sage. - I very rarely hike a spotter in and glass but it would be interesting to do more if it was light weight. - for mountain hunting, It would be nice to have something...

    Titanium mirage

    Never heard of ls wild before but the concept and weight is neat. I've always heard that cover are in the 2-4 ounce range but this looks light.

    Are you one of the LS Wild guys? Your covers actually interest me. What if the insulation made from?

    Titanium mirage

    Yeah, my fear was that I would spend all this money on a titanium supressor and then get a cover and be heavier than a stainless option
