re: .308 vs .270. Which should I get?

Neither, why not go with 6.5 creedmoor?

Because it’s a well marketed round that fills no gap.

It’s a great round and shots and kills well, but is by no means revolutionary. The Swede and the 260 rem have been doing the same thing for a long time.

First, the creedmoor has great BC that also make it a great long range TARGET rifle. At ranges inside 300 yards, which arguably it’s effective hunting range, it’s just another 140gr bullet in a compact rifle.

So, why the 260 over the creedmoor? They are pretty much the same round. The difference being a negligibly higher case capacity due to it being a necked down 30TC, another obscure round that wil not help if you find yourself needing brass for your 260.

The old 260 is simply a necked down 308, which you can find anywhere. Not to mention that 260 ammo is possibly easier to find to begin with.
