He fell in love with the .270 killing zillions of elk and African plains game with it while being part of the discussion of the better caliber between 30-06 vs the .270. That caliber never became the darling of the long range shooters though even with it's longer sleeker bullet and I don't know why not. I've never seen anyone say they used a .270 in a long range competition. I've never tried it at long range either although I'm an owner. Killed a few deer at moderate ranges, nothing like the elk that have been killed with the 30-06 out to almost 600 yards.The .270 is a long action just like the 6.5 creedmoor, so why did everyone jump on the creedmore?</blockquote>
