This is almost like Chevy or Ford.

The loads that are out there for both 270 and 06 are numerous.

I am a 270 lover. Hornady has a neat load in their "Custom" loads. 140 gr and it will drop an elk in hs tracks at 300 yds. if you put it where it should go.
I also shoot one in a Browning 1885. The bbl is 28" and to me tht is significant. This gun shoots well under 1" with above ammo.

I vote for 270.......and single shot.
