It may be the oldest argument in the hunting world. The subject of countless campfire discussions. The old .270 vs .30-06 argument. Folks have been arguing this since 1925, which reminds me. This cartridge is 100 years old.
The basic truth is that I have autopsied lots of whitetail deer. They can't tell the difference.
There are small differences in the performance of each cartridge, but both are absolutely up to the task. If you deliver a well-constructed bullet into the vitals of any medium game, the fun is over and the work begins.
So, Happy Birthday to the .270 Winchester. It's been 100 years and still going strong. It's one of the greatest cartridges ever developed. Is it any better than its parent .30-06? The deer, or for that matter the elk, certainly can't tell the difference.
