EricF Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 Hope links are allowed...didn't read that part...anyway, here goes. You can go here: http://www.rifleshootermag.com/ballistics/ and compare ballistics for similar bullets and weights. The real difference is the .270 Weatherby Mag will get you a membership in the OTPG and the .270 Winchester will not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doubleA Posted January 29, 2009 Report Share Posted January 29, 2009 I dont quite understand the question here but I'll give it a go. They are two entirely different cartidges and can not be interchanged. The 270 Win is basically a necked down 30-06 to hold a .277" bullet. Regarded by many as the best "deer sized game" around the 270 Win is very popular. Standard factory loads will push a 130 gr bullet in the 3200 fps range, while the heavier 150 gr loads will do appx 2900fps. It's a flat shooting and a lower recoiling round. The 270 Wby is based off the old 300 H&H case which uses a .532 case head. While not nearly as popular as the 270 Win it has a following of folks that want more speed. What ever the Winchester can do, the Weatherby can do about 200 fps faster. It is definately a flat shooting cartridge, though at the expense of using more powder and having more recoil. Not being a popular round, it's going to cost alot more than Winchester's round and the availibilty can be a problem. You did not mention the 270 WSM which falls in between the two above.
