Celebrating their 100th trip around the sun this year are two classic cartridges: the .270 Winchester and the .300 Holland & Holland Magnum. One is an undeniable success story that remains a highly popular choice among big game hunters, and the other has a provenance that cannot be denied, even if other cartridges have pushed it out of the limelight.

Professor Jack O’Connor embraced the fledgling .270 Winchester cartridge, taking in from the deserts of Arizona and Mexico to the wilds of Canada, and most places in between. His writings in Outdoor Life—in an era where the opinion of a gun writer carried more weight than it seems to today—propelled Winchester’s cartridge into the annals of history, and O’Connor seemed to guarantee the future success of the cartridge.

If you're in the Lewiston, Idaho area a visit to the Jack O’Connor Hunting Heritage & Education Center may be worth your while.

‘Course in those days the articles were based on actual experience, whereas today MOST are based on some dudes fantasy and have little to do with reality.. The .270 was and is a gem. The .300 H&H is still an impressive round, albeit scarce here.
 
The 270 is one of my favorite rifle rounds. Got my first mule deer in Montana with a Winchester Model 80 Featherweight my Flight Chief let me borrow. (All I had was a 223 and from my Antelope experience I learned that was very limited)

i've stated this before about the 270win, but no reason to not tell it again. my dad bought a 264wm ('61) right out of hs, shot maybe a box or 2 of ammo and decided it had to much recoil, then bought a the 270win..............since he wasn't shooting the 264, i started shooting it when i was 11. i did shoot the 270 a couple of time and to me it kicks way more than the 270 does. the 270win is a great cartridge, but overshadowed by the 30-06.

The 3006 gets the popularity because well 2 world wars and Korea with some use in Vietnam

AND it is more versatile in range of factory weight options not to mention what a hand loser can do. Remember those 22 bullets in a plastic sabot.

But with 3 basic bullets 130,140 and 150 you won’t be that far off for hunting porpoises of Walmart (or whoever) had 130 and you run 140’s or 150’s
