[QUOTE="Gerard Schultz, post: 958305, member: 51"] Let's get things in perspective here. tony m is using a standard 270 Win with a standard length barrel. GSC recommended a 110gr HV because he wants a bullet that will feed from a magazine and a bullet that will allow him to get as far out as is possible with the setup that he has. Apples to apples please. He is not using a 270 WSM, so he does not have the extra 13 or so grains of H2O case capacity to push a longer bullet. He cannot use a 165gr Matrix bullet because the bullet needs a 1:9" twist rate and he has 1:10". If the case were bigger than a 270 Win and the barrel had a tighter twist than 1:10", of course one would use a heavier bullet so there is no point in comparing a 110gr GSC with a 165gr Matrix for his application. Cutting Edge does not make a 160gr bullet in 270. Even the 140gr from CEB is a single feed and requires at least a 9" twist rate. It cannot be compared to a 110gr GSC and, if a different set of requirements are presented, GSC would recommend a different bullet to the 110gr HV. Try the Technical Data on our website, we give a lot of information that enables a user to make good choices. Thank you, that is what we did because that is what the 110gr HV bullet was designed for. When a shooter has different requirements, a different bullet must be used. Where our website is not clear, I help with information as well and, if needed, we will do a custom bullet for a specific application if we do not have one listed. Apples to apples, remember..... :D There are longer bullets available, if the requirement calls for a longer bullet, but, as I said, weight is a secondary factor to using the correct bullet for the application. Price - GSC will never match the price of swaged lead core bullets. GSC also does not have the problems associated with swaged bullets because we turn them. Couple that with the absolute quality control, where every bullet (not every tenth or 100th bullet) is inspected, measured and weighed twice (not once), and the price becomes what one would expect. GSC is in any case not the most expensive on the market, there are others that cost more. [/QUOTE]
