Unpopular? In 2015 it was the 5th best selling centerfire rifle cartridge in the US. I'd hardly call 5th unpopular, and I doubt much has changed since then. It may be unpopular in Michigan with your weird cartridge restrictions for deer hunting, but it is a favorite for medium-sized game in most of the rest of the US.
It's unpopular here.
Remember a couple years back at the worst of the ammo shortage?
Every store had one caliber on the shelf - .270. They never even raised the price.
I considered re-barreling one of my 30-06s to take advantage of it - but knew the shortage would end..
