The .223 and some 6.5 mm as I recall have come out with faster twist barrels in some factory rifles, to accommodate longer heavier bullets. Considering the still very popular .270 Winchester, I could imagine increasing its versatility and popularity with longer heavier bullets, for longer range shooting and bigger animals like moose and elk. Why the stubborn insistence on only the 1:10, which no longer stabilize newer longer bullets by Barnes or Berger and even barely, the older 160 Nosler Partition semi spitzer.
