[QUOTE="Jason Price, post: 30218, member: 512"] I'm considering building a new medium range deer hunting rifle in .270 caliber on the STW class case - I have noticed reamers available lately - Would like 26" to 28" #5 contour Lilja barrel and am thinking about using Barnes XLC 130 gr. - I've noticed the success of the .257 STW,(@ 4300 FPS) but I want a slightly heavier bullet than the 100 or 115 gr. offered in that caliber. I know most of you here yield to larger calibers and heavier bullets for long range hunting, but please understand that long range where I live is more like 500 or 600 yds - The terrain just doesn't allow any more in a hunting situation - What I want is a hyper-velocity rifle with laser-like trajectory to take advantage of long "bean field" shots that may not particuarly allow time to range and dial up shots. Any info or advice from some of you knowledgeable "longrangers" would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, JP [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
