[QUOTE="Eric Alexander, post: 2067648, member: 89813"] I’ve been reading about this 6.8 W and the 270wsm and .270 wcf. ... and came across an interesting comment. The issue was about the new high BC .277 bullets and mentioned the 165ablr and 175vld needing 1:8.5 or 1:8 twist. OK, fine. Then the article tossed in this tidbit: “The ole .270 WCF can't push these new, heavier bullets fast enough to make them useful, regardless of twist.” Fast enough? A .270 should have no problem pushing these out at 2600-2700 fps. What gives? At best the 6.8 & 270 wsm add 200 fps over a .270wcf. Is the author high? According to him, rebarreling my .270 with a 1:8 twist barrel is a waste of time. Doesn’t ring true with me. Comments? [/QUOTE]
