I like my 270s.

Yeah am slightly hesitant ...but must admit to owning one I bought 2nd hand years ago....Remington 700 with synthetic stock and in stainless with iron sights....could never get the scope zeroed. Went through 3 plus boxes of ammo over a period of time...eventually decided to take scope off and try with irons to see if it was the barrel...when removing the screws going into the receiver I found one was broken off inside the receiver. Tried the irons and bang on ...so if weather is inclement I take it out ...shot couple of puku with it and worked fine...now I will duck down deep in the trench

243 people aren't annoying, they're just to be pitied.

You are right Bob. Jack O pushed it down my throat. Got one when I was 14. 52 yrs later and 300 plus critters and not one lost. Not a tomato stake!

It's sort of true. When calibers get improved and reintroduced they tend to be too much of a good thing. Everything I love in firearms was perfected before 1930:

22 Savage
240 Apex (243 is a fake clone)
257 Roberts
6.5x55SE
6.5 Mannlicher
7x57
280 Ross
303 Brit
300 H&H
318 Westley
333 Jeffery
350 Rigby
375 Holland
404 Jeff
470 NE
577 NE

If one of those is lacking for a given task, you probably ought not do that task.

.270 WINCHESTER (1925).

Let me see if I have this right...

7x57 (good)
.284, 140 gr at approx 2800

.270 (bad)
.277, 130 gr at approx 2850

Seems logical to me........

My .25 100 gr out the barrel at 3300 fps suits me just fine even if I can push it another 100-200 fps

I like the 109grainers out of mine at over 3,600 fps, just fun to shoot a long ways out with minimal or zero hold over

87gr out of the 1915 designed Savage .250-3000 @3000fps. With modern powders probably 4000fps? LOL And apparently it kills WAY above its ballistics:

You left it the Whelen mate. That was pre 1930.
Me thinks y'all need to start another love affair.
