More so than lacking the Hornady credentials is the piss-poor quality of Winchester ammo especially for something designed for long-range precision. Building something for LR work that is not supported by Hornady or Berger is going to make it die on the vine for everything except handloaders - and even then, finding quality head stamped brass is a very recent thing IIRC in the last 12 to 18 months from ADG.
Most factory 270's have a twist rate that tops out at bullet weights of around 150 grains. Gotta have a non-SAAMI twist rate (faster twist) to stabilize the long, heavy for caliber bullets now available. Which means that it is a hand loader only option because what major manufacturer of ammo would bring to market a 270 bullet that wouldn't work in 99.99999% of 270 Win rifles ever made?
Didn’t you say in another thread that your 270 recoil beat you up? So you were downsizing?Since the .270 is almost dead can people send me their ammo, brass, bullets etc? I’ll make sure to bury them
Same for backpacks
Kind of a dumb analogy. Other than Billy Jack who wears a perfectly flat hat brim? That is far closer to flat than any of my hats.Using the flat brimmer algorithm, aer=d, where a is the angle of the brim, e is the ego of the person, and r the radius of the bill, the douchebaginess of the person can be calculated. The man in the above picture rates very low on the flat brimmer scale and obviously owns multiple .270’s. In exhibit A below, we measure the flatness of the bill and can deduce that it is obviously not a flat brimmer’s hat, but the hat of a man that can handle a small .270 or 30/06 and not cry to his husband every time he jerks the trigger. A man that doesn’t need the likes of a hotspotting YouTube video to make himself feel special. A man that uses the tools that work for him and doesnt just blindly follow that guy on rokslide. And if you’ve made it this far with a chuckle or two, congrats on not taking things too seriously.

Well how about 2918 fps with 61 grains of powder and a 591 BC? How far out there does your measly 100 BC points have to go to catch up? And without question the first 500 yards the 270 is the superior rifle. Is there some odd requirement that 6.5 shooters are restricted from sneaking up on game animals?
Some usable bullets in 1-10 twists are in the high 500's, close to 600 as a matter of fact. I personally do not think either the 30-06 or 270 are at recoil levels for most to easily overcome. That is other than Creedmoor shooters. Poor Genetics?
As for good Brass Lapua 30-06 brass is easily converted to 270 brass. As for long range precision shooters using factory ammo, sure to pile up brass.
Only a very few people out there ask more of their rifles.
I thought the 270win was based on the old 30-03 not the 30-06 ?
My hypothesis is that a manbun adds mass to the skull and therefore more inertia. This greater inertia adds to the whiplash effect on the skull from recoil.
I believe the question at hand is “why is the .270 dying”…. And it’s dying because there are cartridges that offer way more for way less. I have nothing against a .270 and have killed plenty with ‘em but they don’t reside in my safe anymore as the bang no longer matches the buck.Well how about 2918 fps with 61 grains of powder and a 591 BC?

Looks like past 1000 yards.
