Why is the .270 Winchester so under loaded?

Lol, 270 Win has been out for 100 years, nice thought though. However, show some numbers and I'll recant.

I doubt there's anything by caliber, but we've made a LOT of guns recently.

There have been more guns produced in the US since the 6.5cm was introduced in 2007 to today than from 1950 to 1987. What percentage of those are 6.5cm, I don't know. But I bet it's a pretty good amount.

270 and 30-06 generally have the case capacity to safely load a bit above factory ammunition specs with the optimal modern powder.

You will always hear someone pushing 100 fps or more than anyone else on the planet and saying it's not at peak pressure. Very few of them have the equipment to Mic case head growth to confirm the story. Measurements probably won't agree anyway.

270 with a 150 gr lead copper maxes out at 3000 to 3100 fps depending on the chamber and barrel. Ironically it's essentially the same trajectory as a 6.5CM with a bit more punch.
