270 Win was created with one thing in mind. It was made solely as a big game hunting cartridge and has been a goto for hunters the world over.

.270 Winchester gained popularity post World War II due to its flatter shooting trajectory over the popular 30-06.

270 Win is commonly available in 90-110 grain weights for varmit hunting. 130-160 is the most popular for deer and big game.

With muzzle velocities anywhere from approximately 2850 fps to 3603 fps, the .270 Winchester is a great option for all hunters internationally.

While some have migrated to the .277 Winchester Short Magnum, the 270 is still a great choice and solid contender.
