[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 194783, member: 2011"] Not to hijack the thread, but 270 related. I get a kick out of the problems with the 270 WSM in practical use. I've shot a 270 Win for many years. In a 24" Douglas barrel the 130s and 140s were loaded to 3190 fps and were what I considered max loads. But I still got 10 to 20 firings per case. When that barrel wore out it was replaced with a Lilja 27" number 4 contour. It shoots the 140s at 3200 fps. It could go faster but I stopped at 3200 as I figure that's fast enough for a 270 Win. Jury is still out on case life but is at 5 so far. Accuracy of the Douglas was 3/4 MOA accuracy of the Lilja is beyond description that is, you wouldn't believe me if I told ya. The Norma powder 204/205/MRP gave best velocities with lowest pressures. However due to its unavailability I went with 4350. Pressures were high and case life short. RL-22 turned out to be the best available both accuracy wise and pressure wise. Also I use a non-magnum primer which made the most difference in accuracy. Just chiming in. [/QUOTE]
