I just did some comparing, and I dont know model 70.....

You gotta weigh the odds pretty heavy for the 270 to make it out perform the 30-06. With the same weight bullet, 150, its no comparison. The 06 beats it. You have to go all the way down to the 130gr for the 270 to take over with the 06 still shootin a 150gr.

Take the 280, and the same bullet weights and it blows the 270 out of the water in all catagories....

Look, just admit it. They are all fine cartridges. But, the 270 is no better or worse for whitetails than a host of others. Its a good deer rifle. Not the perfect deer rifle. None are.......
