[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2167206, member: 100742"] I also own a .270 Weatherby Mag, its a 10 twist, 26 inch #2 barrel. Mine shoot the 150 Grn Nosler Accubond LR bullets pretty well. I have not even tried shooting my .277 ,170 Grn Berger's out of it. I think it would be just wasting good bullets. I love the way it shoots 130 Grn and 150 Grn , so I have no plans on changing the barrel any time soon. To me its a long range White tail , Mule Deer and Antelope rifle. I took one small elk with this in 1980 in Colorado using the Speer Grand slams . A popular Bullet at that time. Worked pretty well, Needed two shots. One bullet hit the heart, the second was placed in the neck. Until I took the second shot, that animal gave no sign of being hit. On the meat poles back at the lodge , I could see exactly where my bullets went. In my personal opinion, if they made the 270 Weath. mag rifle with a 9 twist , that would allow for the use of longer ,heavier bullets, with greater accuracy of the heavier longer bullets' than its capable of right now with a 10 twist. That would /could make it a great all around caliber. I took a different path ,and in 1982 picked up a used Weatherby Mark V in .300 Weatherby Mag , also 26 inch #2 Barrel, had it Mag -Na Ported and had sights and barrel band added to it. That rifle allowed me shoot at elk with 180 Grn, and 200 Grn bullets. Necessary??? Who Knows!!! Having another Weatherby in the safe??? Nice. [/QUOTE]
