Of the hundreds of commercial metallic cartridges introduced, the .270 Wi******er is one of few that have maintained a century-long tenure of popularity. As a youngster, I remember hearing my first real cartridge debate at the local gun store counter — a couple of hunters hashing out the merits of the .270 Wi******er versus those of the .30/06 Springfield. That was after both had been around for over 75 years!

That the .270 Wi******er has remained one of America’s most popular big game cartridges for a hundred years lends credit to its effectiveness in the field. It was a sweetheart of hard-hunting gun writers like Jack O’Connor, and favored for its flat trajectory and mild recoil. Though it was often underestimated, the cartridge rivals the performance of some popular magnums. There are ways that modern cartridges have been improved, but the .270 Wi******er can still hold its own.

Here’s everything you need to know about this classic big game cartridge: https://trib.al/rdSReJP
