30-06 or 270

[oldtimer]

well as posted earlier I have owned both calibers as well as a 308 Norma Mag and the old 303 british. But the question is between the 270 and the 30-06. So I am thinking of getting back into rifles and because my son ( willyQ ) has a nice new 30-06 and does re-loads my vote is for the same. If he chose 270 and did all the reloading then that is what I would choose. That is how close I think these 2 calibers rate. Mike

Here is a better ? if the 06 was only invented today do you think it would

sell......

I'm votin' for the 30/06, I just had my Rem. 700 30/06 restocked and fitted with a zorbathane butt pad and a muzzle break. It now feels like a .243 when you shoot it. My 7mm Rem. Mag might be getting lonely for awhile until the novelty of the refurbished 06 wears off.

I doubt most hunters coudl tell the difference between the cartrdiges if you handed them a loaded rifle and said "shoot that moose."

More importantly, I don't think the moose could tell the difference.

I think you mean a huge assortment of bullets and weights.??

anyways 270 is WAY better...30-06 intoduced today would be a non seller

The argument shouldn't be what chambering but rather what rifle you like to shoot. Nonetheless, the simple fact of the matter is that less recoil translates into better accuracy with 95% of today's shooters. A 270 has less recoil than a 30.06 and consequently gets my nod.
