[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 563782, member: 13632"] I haven't finished the load development yet on a 270 Win but 2850 fps seemed to be near the top end with 7828 with the 165 Matrix, I have not shot the 175 from a Win so no hard data there. We've been running the both Matrix bullets in a 1-10 twist but I'm at 6000 ft a 1-9 should be ideal with the 165 in a Win at any elevation. I think a 270 AI or similar would get you some leeway at a 1000yrds, the 270 WSM would be well worth the little work you would need to do for the big gain it would be. I idle the 165 at 3053 and so far the 175 likes 3014 fps, you'll have a hard time out running it with any 6.5 or 7mm without burning a lot more powder. The 270 WSM is an ideal 1000yrd deer cartridge with the 165's, there is a definite difference when hitting game with the 165 Matrix and a 140 Berger. The 270 is at no disadvantage, some calibers just need a few bullets others need to compensate :D [/QUOTE]
