[edit] Necked down 30-03 vs. 30-06
The difference may be moot, howwever the cartridge case lengths are different. Jgnfld 13:43, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Statement
I think the statement that "today the .270 is the second most popular caliber in the world behind the .30-06 Springfield in terms of firearms and ammunition sold" is not valid (though it was certainly true in the 60s which may account for the source quoted or consulted in making this statement). To the best of my knowledge three military/military-based calibers are more popular: the 223 Remington (5.56 NATO)/the .308 Winchester (7.62 x 51), and the 30-06 Springfield.
I have not changed this statement as I am not sure of my facts, however I have marked it with a "fact" tag. Jgnfld 13:53, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
- I remember reading this "fact" in an article, something along the lines of "Greatest Cartridges of the 20th Century"; I'll see if I can find it for you (it was an online copy of a gun mag. article).71.235.66.254 01:36, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Frank C. Barnes "Cartridges of the World" states that the .270 is based on the .30-06 cartridge. What's your source for it being based on the .30-03? 24.242.202.214 01:47, 27 September 2006 (UTC) rfr
[edit] Removal
I am also removing the insufficient context flag now. Jgnfld 16:05, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WPMILHIST
The WPMILHIST tag has been removed due to this article not being military related.--Oldwildbill 13:38, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
