Group size was the original concern from double d: the 270 isn't a caliber capable of accuracy that the 30-06 is, which is why that was my original recommendation: if I was concerned with group size, not simply on-game performance the 270 wouldn't be a wise choice. As a 1st time user, I was pointing double d down the road to success of accuracy.

I am not the only one with this experience of the inaccuracy of the 270. When group size is the concern(savage is an extremely accurate rifle, it's just the caliber that's the problem) the caliber is a factor in the capability of the rifle. Read this link: when I state the inaccuracy of the cartridge, I do not stand alone in my beliefs.
