[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2660867, member: 63925"] RL26 is by far the magic pixie dust for the .270Win and heavier bullets. I found it to be accurate and velocities quite a bit faster than expected. Plenty of thread discussion on it. RL26 unlocks the overbore potential of .270Win IMO. The other means to "unlock" the .270 Win is use the longest action (~700LA) to maximize the COAL which the long neck of the case excels at holding long bullets. This also helps to increase case capacity. Whether you go with .270 Win or .270AI, the overall performance is increased significantly over a SAAMI .270Win. when you max out the cartridge's capability. Long action magazine ~COAL 3.6"+ Added Freebore to accommodate longer high BC bullets 1:7-1:8 twist RL26 pixie dust 156HH, 170EOL, 140BD2 Be prepared to be surprised. FYI - Preferred Barrel did my barrel and from my perspective nailed it. I sent them 2 dummy rounds of 156HH set to 3.63 COAL and stated CBTO with 0.020 jump to allow me accommodate other longer bullets. Barrel ordered was 27" Light Palma SS Remage, 0.290 freebore, 5R, 1:8tw. Couldn't be happier with results. [/QUOTE]
