Summary

Thanks to a listener's request, we're bringing the grand old .270 Winchester some love. This episode dives into how to get the best ballistic and terminal performance out of the cartridge.

We talk rifle accuracy, factory load options and selection, handloading the .270, and some bullets that have provided top-tier performance over the years.

This is a BONUS episode, and it's also the 2023 SHOT Show kickoff! We'll have new-product introductions and reviews in upcoming episodes—and are going to be posting short "first look" segments on www.patreon.com/backcountry. Sign up for access to that bonus content, and to join our community there.

ENJOY!
