If a gun was was put to my head to choose(no pun intended..oh, well, maybe it was), I’d go with the 338-06. Still get the extra energy for the make believe “knock down power”, but higher velocity, BC and range as well. Not to mention better accuracy.
Well....the main reason I want to switch the .270 to .338-06 or .35 Whelen is because I already have a
.30-06, and a 6.5x55, and don't need the .270. With the .338-06 & the .35 Whelen, you have a lot of "AUTHORITY" when you're hunting elk, black bear, and moose.
That's what I like about those cartridges. One shot and done, DRT.
Not so much with a .270 Win.
