[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 1736679, member: 100742"] I'm a .270 Win fan . Great cartridge for a light bolt action rifle, perfect for Deer and Antelope. Depending on the rate of twist you order in your new barrel, you can shoot the classic 130 grain ,which is explosive on whitetails ;the 140 Grain, and the long slim 150 grain Nosler Accubond LR, with an excellent BC . I'm not saying anything against any of the new family of 6.5mm cartridges. I'm sure they are all fine , it just seems to me they do not offer anything the .270 Win hasn't offered for decades. Very easy to make accurate hand loads . I still use H4831 /4831SC or IMR 4350. Getting a 130 grn. Nosler Ballistic tip to 3050fps from a 24 inch barrel out of my Weatherby Ultralight for several years , has been my ideal whitetail load. The .270 Win is really just a classic hunting cartridge. I think you can probably get some of the 6.5 cartridges to become good hunting cartridges too. [/QUOTE]
