As I see it, O'Connor was astute enough to realize that far more hunters would be hunting with a .270 Winchester than, say, a .333 OKH and he was articulate enough to elaborate on the theory that "lighter bullet at higher velocity is better" knowing full well that he had an immediate audience. But back before you had the premium bullets that we have today, you needed caliber and bullet weight to get the job done. Nowadays the .270 is a much better cartridge considering all the superior bullets that we have, but I'll never believe it was all that O'Connor made it out to be.
