Objectively it may be better but I find it's less widely available and with less bullet weight options. Plus I'd feel more comfortable using a .270 on anything that's trying to kill me.
They're great for all ages, add stock extenders as the shooter grows then get a new full size stock and you've got a rifle that'll be fine for anything in the US.
>t. Thinks I'm talking about 7mm Mag rather than 7mm the caliber
The heavy, long 180gr+ 7mm bullets are higher B.C. than basically all bullets 30 cal and under. Nearly .8 for some.
If you're hunting, how many bullets do you plan on shooting that your own handloaded ammunition is expensive?
>The heavy, long 180gr+ 7mm bullets > In any common 7mm chambering
Really fricking weird that you stan a caliber in a rifle you don't own, let alone have ever hand loaded. You looked not at a rifle, but instead at the idea of a caliber approximated in a spreadsheet and swore your undying love.
I load 28 Nosler pretty frequently, built it on a remington 700 action, barrel has a slightly longer throat to ensure long heavy berger bullets aren't jamming into the lands when seated out.
You don't know shit about guns and that's why you're defending pawpaw's 270 as though it's God's gift to earth.
Also, the wienersucking OP said caliber, not fricking cartridge or rifle probably because people on /k/ are fricking noguns who don't even understand basic terminology.

Look at the ballistic coefficient and weep that your bullets don't fly as far, fast, long, or straight.
7mm is an excellent hunting and long range platform.
Yeah I'm sure you're one of those "purist" hunters that totally stalks their prey. Meanwhile, 200 yards isn't that far at all and if you can't handle the fact that you shoot worse than my 9 year old son then that's your problem.
No I just live on the gulf coast and detest staring down power line right of ways or hunting across bean fields. I'm sure your wifes son is a nice kid.
.280 Rem 40 years before .280 Rem, which is one of the greatest general-purpose hunting cartridges ever but unfortunately is tainted by being associated with Remington, who basically ended up killing it slowly but also in utero through the usual remshittery. Break out the 120s and send it screaming at coyotes at 3250FPS or load it soft to meat hunt things like woodchuck and beaver, use 139s and duplicate 7x57, load 175s and send a bullet with a BC of 0.65 downrange at 2750 FPS - and you can do all of this comfortably from a fricking 7lb. rifle. My rifle weighs less than that and doesn't even have a recoil pad and it takes a box of 175s before I even notice. Try that with a 7mm mag.
This is what all the manlet rednecks used for deer hunting back in highschool. 30-06 and .308 had a bit too much power for thier womanly shoulders to handle.
You too good for .25-06, anon? There no gophers or prarie dogs you need vaporized? 120gr of quarter bore insufficient for your deer hunting needs?

it's a good round, but a little too light for heavy work
purely for anti-personnel, though? fantastic option. the fact that the SCAR is not 270Win is pure fuddlore poisoned US Army doctrine
my dad bought me a bolt action 270 win when I was a young boy
are you a 12 year old by chance?

7mm exists, you accidentally posted the wrong image, I understand OP.
>more expensive per shot
>more recoil
>louder

As an unhappy owner of a .280 rem I disagree
270 is Gods cartridge, superb choice anon
Objectively wrong. You're not killing an elk or moose with that. 30.06 is the king of calibers.

If you can't take an animal down beyond 150 yards you don't deserve to hunt.
Wish I could see through trees but I can't, that must be a nice dude ranch you hunt on keeping all the fields cleared for your mobility scooter.

Inside 150yds people take moose with it. Considering the average distance large game is taken in the US is sub 100yd I think it's fine.

its 6.5x55
its 6.8x51
One of the few things Russia got right
.270 shouldn't even exist. .280 does everything it does, but better.
