Nearing a century of use in the field, the .270 Winchester remains one of the most popular and beloved calibers made. It is the perfect caliber for long range large and big game hunting in plains, mountain, or tundra. With available reduced velocity loads that have been available since the 40s, it offers close-in woods performance, without destructive meat loss. Accurate, efficient, mild mannered, and with great handling in lightweight rifles, it has little competition when it comes to flat shooting performance on the largest American game, and it does so without stiff magnum charges, long barrels, short barrel life, heavy rifles, or brutal recoil. The .270 Winchester offers true long range magnum performance in a .30-06 size case, but with significantly less recoil than the .30-06, and far better bullet-weight-to-velocity ratio; its 150 grain bullet flying as flat, with the same sectional density, and virtually the same game getting performance as the .300 Winchester Magnum. If you are looking for the perfect all-round rifle for virtually all game in North America, take a close look at the cartridge that the late Jack O'Connor swore by for hunting throughout the world, and why knowledgeable hunters have kept it so popular for so long!
