Prior to the arrival of my 6.5-284 Norma , the 270 was my lone deer hunting round. It served me faithfully for over 20 years. Never missed a single shot with it. The 6.5-284 is just more accurate any day of the week. Took my first ever California antelope with it last year at 480 yards. I love it !!!!
