Why would you think a 06 would be a better choice for longer ranges than a 270? That makes no sense. the 270 shoots flatter at 200+. Of course the difference isn't that marked with some loads, but if I were shooting at 200+ my choice would be a 270 every time. Hell, if I consistently shot at those ranges it'd be a 300 Win Mag though.

Its only an opinion but that's why I think 270 is a better all around choie than an 06.
