Good choice on the 270 Winchester.


I have both calibers in my rifle rack & my is that of most guys, the .270 Win is simply more versatile if your going to do all our NW hunting w/ one gun.

My 1982 Ruger M-77 .270 has killed a ton of big game (Montana & Washington) w/ some shots out to just under 400 yards.

Mine might be a freak, but off a bench it will shoot 5 Sierra 90 grain HP's into 1.25" @ 100 yards, & put 3 Nosler 160 grain partitions into .75" w/ my loads. Mine has a lightweight taper 22" bbl.


My current hunting load is a Nosler 130 grain Ballistic Tip @ 3100+ fps w/ a maximum charge of Reloader 17.
