Love my .270! It was my grandpa's, he gave it to me when I was 14 years old. He passed in 1986. I got elk every year with it.

I was load testing my 6.5 PRC when the old range officer starting asking about the specs of the cartridge. This dude is in his 80’s and has forgotten more about hard loading than I’ll never know. When I’m done breathlessly describing my new toy, he smiles and says, “That’s has nearly the same case capacity and muzzle velocity as my old 6.5-06 wildcat. But, the action is shorter.” That essentially sums up the 6.5 PRC. Same capability, shorter length.

6.5-06 has been around since 1913 as the 257 Newton, but was SAAMI spec in the 80's by A-Square and called the 6.5-06. That means it's not a wildcat. Unfortunately A-Square went out of business and no other company make ammo for it... yet. LOL I've had a 6.5-06 for years and it shoots great.

Your old-timer friend knew the principles of ballistics and when someone does, just looking at a cartridge or knowing the specs will instantly enable you to compare with other similar cartridges and determine what its general characteristics will be. Thus you will quickly spot the marketeering of modern cartridge production.

I don't understand why I keep watching these types of cartridge videos from Ron Spomer... It's all more of the same when comparing cartridges. Focusing on very small differences between cartridges and elaborating on them. We are totally nerding out on this topic. Hours of my life that I will never get back. Hats off to Ron Spomer for finding a way to keep it interesting. He just articulates things in such an effective way that keeps your interest locked down. I think Captivation is his most valuable talent. Great writer and story teller

If I ever wanted a 6.5/.264 cartridge, it would be a 264 Win Mag. Nothing new under the sun 🌞

270 is what I got first Caribou with in 2019 when I was 13 in the Barron lands of the Canadian northwest Territories

270 Winchester--DONE

One thing to remember, before anyone took the 3006 case and necked it down to 277 and made the 270 winchester, Newton necked the 30-06 down to 6.5/264 cal in 1913. He named it the 257 Newton because back then they measured the bore and not the grooves. It was later saami spec by A-Square and called the 6.5-06 A-Square. I think Newton saw the 6.5x55 Swede and how good it was and Americanized it by using the 3006 case.

The 270, in my opinion, is the best round for hunting bigger game in North America. Excellent ballistics, great selection of ammo, easy to find and will take down anything it hits. Yes, there are better rounds in each, individual category, but in combination, you can't beat it.

Ones again thank you for the great information 270 win fan here , enjoy the great Channel

6.8 Western came along to give the 270 new life. I guess we'll see.

Really enjoyed the video Ron. Seems we're always trying to build a better mousetrap, but when it comes to the 6.5 PRC/270 Win, I'm still firmly in Jack O'Connor's camp. The 270, in my opinion, remains one of the most versatile hunting calibers for North American big game. If you're into ringing steel, well, you can do that too with modern powders and bullet selections for the 270.

@RonSpomerOutdoors

Right you are, Hal. Too many shooters seem to be of the opinion that a cartridge design nearly 100 years old can't compete with more modern designs. Guys, its just a powder reservoir. Certainly it limits powder quantity, but the old cases can burn the same powders as the new and push the same bullets (withing twist limits.) Another myth is that you need a tricked out PRS "long range" platform rifle to hit anything beyond 500 yards. I've smacked plenty of plates from 600 to 1,000 with ordinary hunting rifle and scopes. I'm not going to win any competitions, but I have fun and learn/improve as I go.

@@vikingsoftpaw - yes and yes, but with a twist. Similarities abound, except when you look at factory ammunition on the 6.5x55 Swede is designed for a slower barrel twist rate. The 6.5 PRC ammunition is designed for a faster 1:8 barrel twist to stabilize the longer bullets with high BC. That's the primary difference even with the 6.5 PRC vs 270 Winchester. Since most people don't reload, they simply buy factory ammunition for their rifles, modern bullet geometry needs to match modern barrels. It's kind of like the .38 vs .357 case length. You can achieve .357 velocity out of a .38 with modern powder, but you will likely destroy an older weaker metallurgy .38 special revolver. So the .38 factory ammunition is loaded weak to be usable in the older revolvers without creating dangerous issues. Those manufacturers reserve the modern powders for the .357 where you can't accidentally load into your old .38 spl.

I'm out in the Southern Part of Africa. Most popular rifles at our rifle club are 308, 300wm,, 30-06 and 243. Most guys use 243 and 6.5 creedmore for competitive shooting. Have not seen any other 6.5 varients here yet. Also never seen a 7mm 08 yet, which is the only other calibre I want. My wife and I have rifles in the following calibers 7mmrm, .243 .375, 30-06, .223 and ,303 British (heirloom). My go to rifle is the 7mmrm for everything, which unfortunately means where possible head and neck shots when hunting smaller game like impala and springbok (due to meat damage). Maybe the 6.5 "magnum" is my answer, but want to look into the 7mm 08, unfortunately a decision to acquire either will be challenged by poor ammo availability. I'll wait to see if either gains traction in popularity over the next year or so.

I own rifles in both of these calibers and love them both. The deer I’ve taken with them never knew the difference

Great video. I agree with your recommendation of Empire of the Summer Moon. The Comanche struck me as being, if you will, US Army Rangers on horseback. As you said, they were the ultimate horsemen of the plains. Great read!

Most standard calibers in the .303British, to the .30-06 and the 6,5 Carcano, 6,5 Arisaka, 6,5 Swedish/Norwegian will do the same job. 6,5x55 have taken everything from polar bears and seals to moose and everything smaller. Today, even smaller bore is used, as the .243 is a most common caliber for deer in North America. For the average hunter it is more about availability of ammunition and cost than anything else. Good ammunition that don`t bruise half of the animal comes second. All of the mentioned is very capable on deer sized animals. For a sudden stop of a larger animal, there are the .358 Weatherbys, Rigbys, Lotts and magnums. The spectrum of calibers available is immense. With new bullet tech today, the lethality is the same, but the bruising is about none. You put out some of the best videos out there Ron. Please keep them coming!

Thanks Ron

The 280 AI is what the 280 Remington should have been in the first place. Just my opinion. But the 30-06 and 270 are just two established standards that are available, reasonably priced, and been getting it done with aplomb for many decades.

All the rage seems to be 6.5mm cartridges; creedmore, PRC, etc. After watching your videos on the comparisons I realized that the .270 Win sitting in the closet was equal to and in some cases better than the new whiz bang calibers. So I dropped my plan to buy a 6.5 and dusted off my .270. I'm old and old school; don't fix it if it ain't broke and don't spend money for what you've basically already got. So thank you and keep up the great work. Love your analysis, it helps an old fogey like me to decide whether the next SS check goes to food or a new firearm.
