Went and shot my new (old) .270 Saturday. I was impressed with the round's recoil in a bolt-action rifle (nowhere near as punishing as 8mm Mauser, but still stout).
So, where did the .270 come from? The rounds seemed as long as 30-06, is that what it was based on? How does it compare to .308 / 30-06 / 7x57 / etc?
What is the effective range? MV/ME? Trajectories? Best factory load (I still don't reload)?
What kind of game can it take (I'm assuming it is fine for deer...)
Thanks!
