[QUOTE="35 Whelen, post: 1746614, member: 105990"] In my last issue or Rifle magazine John Barsness did another article on the .270 Win., but this time with older and new bullets. Even the 170gr stabilized in the standard twist (yes faster is better for them). The other LR bullets work very well in the old .270. The 150gr. bullets are not to long for the 270. Noslers 160gr. and hawks 165gr. are made for the standard 1-10 twist and work very well, no they are not "long range" bullets. The point is the 270 can handle heaver longer bullets than what is offered. Why is the 277 bullets coming along much slower? Because it has all ways ben looked at as a hunting cartridge not a target one, so bullets and rifles have all ways ben built just as such. 30 cal. has ben used for milt., target, and hunting for over a hundred years, so it is going to have a lot of bullets options, same for the 7mm. The 6.5's have ben used for milt. as well, the old 6.5's were made with fast twist because the Europeans liked it with the long round nose 160gr. bullets and they needed a faster twist to stabilize. This made it an ease caliber to adapt to the new high BC bullets. [/QUOTE]
