Glock Talk - View Single Post - Can the .30-06 do more than the .270 Win?

Something that is baffling to me is internal ballistics(?). The .270 will throw a 130gr bullet at >3,100f/s, while the '06 has much less velocity with the equivallent sectional density bullet (165gr). The '06 can only come close with the 150gr bullet, which has a lower sectional density.

I would still pick the 150gr/'06 over the 130gr/.270.
