To me, the 270 and CM is in the same family. Most likely, brothers.

270 doesn't care what you think. It's been whackin' & stackin' since before anyone on this forum started sucking air...

And you don't need to join the "man bun club" like you do with the 6.5 Creed.

The .270 sometimes takes a lot of flack from various crowds. But, the truth is with the right load combination you have to go to a magnum case to out perform it if you consider all aspects. I owned several .270 s years back and proved to my shooting circle that particular point. And, with the Nosler 130 gr. 140 gr. and 150 gr. B T s at max. loads with all three bullets I could shoot one of each bullets into a group and cover all three with a dime most of the time with Rem. 700 and Browning A-bolt rifles.

I have a early 70's mdl 70 push feed that loves 47 grs. 4320 and the 150 NBT. It's THE most accurate pure factory gun I own.

I'm a 30 06 fan. But I hunt with a Steyr Mountain Rifle in 270. Before I used that handshake my 270 would become a trotline weight.

Jack O'Conner wasn't wrong. 270 Win, finest deer caliber hands down! LOL. If I had to only hunt with one caliber where I live in Texas...270 Win hands down. I don't even have to think about it. That said, I do hunt with 7mm-08, 308, 30-06, and 7mm Mag. All with good results, but my favorite is my 270.

I think the 270 was the only one that won when the 6.5Needmoor joined us

The outfitter I elk hunted with said he had more elk run off that had been shoot with a 270win than any other round.

I'm still wearin' my high-and-tight from the 70's and shooting the 6.5 CM. My son-in-law, former Thai special forces, shoots a 6.5 CM very effectively, and he's got a buzz cut. So, man bun not a prerequisite. ***side note- some Thai's do put the cobra venom sack in a bottle of whiskey, but my SIL says it's mostly for show.
