[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 2067666, member: 69478"] Most gun authors say things to sell things, and a lot of them don’t know as much as half the people on this forum. The standard 270 with a 26” 1-8 twist barrel would do 2800-2850 with RL26 and 165-170gr bullets. It would be a good rifle and would basically duplicate the standard .280 Remington. If I was going to rebarrel a .270, then I’d do a .280 Ackley or .284 Win with a long throat. I rebarreled my .270 a couple years ago to .284 Norma Match and push 175 Berger’s @ 2840-2850fps. The standard .270 would be very similar ballistically when using the 170 Berger @ 2800-2850fps. [/QUOTE]
