Choices for .277" vs .284" bullets the choice is obvious for me. .277" suffers from weak bullet selection. 7mm-08 will do every thing the 270 can and then some,it is blessed with the efficacy of the .308. Short action helps by shaving a few ounces off the weight of the rifle.Did I mention bullet selection ? Not very many spin off cartridges from the 270,just a goofy dia. it works in the 270 and not much else.
