re: 270 or 30-06?

Same can be said for the 270. With the combo of the 6.8spc and the 270 wsm, bullet selection is a lot better then it used to be. Of course, you have to handload to use them. I would spend more time choosing a rifle (make) then choosing between those two calibers, but given the choice with all else being equal, I would 270 win all day.
