Whats stronger 30-06 or 270?

30-06 wins the bullet energy category. It hits harder even at extended ranges, and it can be loaded using bullets as heavy as 220 grains. However, since Trophy Copper bullets reliably expand only at velocities above 1,800 fps, the . 270 Win. has a greater maximum effective range.

Is a 30-06 Big enough for elk?

30-06 is still an extremely capable elk caliber at reasonable hunting ranges. It has significantly less recoil than most magnum cartridges as well. Indeed, just about any elk outfitter would prefer to have a hunter arrive in camp with a well-worn . 30-06 that he or she can shoot well than a brand new magnum.

What is the ballistic coefficient of a 270 Win?

270 Win Ballistics Chart & Coefficient. The following ins a 500 yd 270 Win ballistic trajectory and drop chart that follows a 130gr Winchester Silvertip with a ballistic coeddicient of .337 from the time it exits the muzzle until it hits the 500 yard mark. All data created using our free ballistic calculator.

Can you make a ballistic chart for a 30-06?

If your 30-06 isn’t close to these specs, or if you are a sniper or just someone who is into long range shots you may want to take this a step further and use our ballistic calculator to create a custom 30-06 ballistic chart to take into account variances like atmospheric conditions and angles.

What is the ballistics of a 270 silvertip?

270 Win Ballistics Chart & Coefficient. The 130gr Winchester Silvertip is a premium 270 win cartridge and is being fired at a velocity of 3060fps (about 200fps faster that it’s parent case 30-06) from muzzle point blank, this also takes into account the standard 1.5″ scope height, and a gun that has been sighted in at 100 yards.

What is the difference between 30-06 and 270?

On the back end of the bullet, a boat tail reduces drag, increasing the ballistic coefficient. When it comes to 30 06 v. 270, there is little difference in the general ballistic coefficients of both cartridges. Both have a long, thin tapered design, which helps cut drag and stabilize the bullet in flight, producing impressive ballistic performance.
