Will someone tell me what this does that a 6.5-08 does not?

It gives higher velocity with same bullet weight.


Ahh but just as with any such comparison that comes at the cost of sd..

Both nice rounds though...

IMHO the difference is negligible..

I have never had love for the 270 bullet and always saw the advantages in the 7 or 6.5mm but only have had a likening of the 270 in advent of the lighter bullets for the 6.8 SPC. With a slew of new 85 to 115 grain bullets there is a "case" for the smaller than 270 win case. A 6.8x55 wildcat in a short action is an interesting idea to me now.


Speaking of just the bullets the 270 bullet is more close to a 7mm then the 7mm bullet is. Figuring the 270 bullet is .277 that's 7.0358mm, and the .284 bullet is 7.2136mm.
