I have ALWAYS been anti-.270 since my teen years in the early 70's.
1. Jack O'Connor and nearly every other gun writer tried to convince us then, that the deer might as well jump onto your hood and tie themselves. You couldn't miss and didn't have to aim within 400 yards, and anybody who owned one could shoot lightning bolts out of their backsides to start the campfire!
2. I would rather pay well over MSRP for a .280 Remington, 6.5x55, 7mm-08, .264 Win, or .284 Win than accept a free .270 bolt gun.........
I know ultimately it's a good cartridge, but I'll be damned if it will EVER be more versatile or widely accepted as the 30-06. It's certainly not the round that all the hyperbole would have you think.
