I have two rifles I rely on one is a Ruger .06 - the other is .270 - I've killed elk and deer with both - a .270 is great rifle.. You can usually buy .270 anywhere - has plenty of power for deer, elk, coyotes, whatever.Doesn't anyone use the 270 Win anymore ?
Early 70;s I bought Ruger's M77 in .270 much to the chagrin of my buddy who also bought the same gun but in 7mm magnum, but when we went to the woods to sight in, he laid his down his after 2o rounds I finished the sixty rounds I brought (except 8 he shot) and wished I had brought more. A month later we went Elk hunting in Sled Springs. He missed a follow up shot on his wounded Elk because he tried to cycle the giant round to fast and it jammed, he was begrudgingly appreciative when I put his 4 point beast down on the run for him with my no recoil, girly no account .270 round. Over the years I bought a lot of rifles in bigger calibers which I brought to the hunt but still end up leaving camp with the 270. it will be the last rifle left when I die.Doesn't anyone use the 270 Win anymore ?

Say Taku, this thread doesn't have anything with your slow sale for your 270 cartridges does it?
I totally agree with Tac and the last line of Python287.
By the Bye, after hundreds of hand loaded rounds later, I'm still hunting with the .270's I loaded up in 1976 with Nozlers then new Balistic tip. 140 gr for deer and 180 for elk. not one fail albeit rather tarnished now.
