[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 616866, member: 2011"] I too have shot the 270 Win for more than 3 decades. It started life as a M-98 w/a 24" Douglas premium barrel and a VX-II 3x9 duplex reticle. It was until 2004 my only rifle. Many chucks, yotes, mulies and one moose fell to it. 420 yards seemed to be its limit pushing a 130 grain boat tail @ 3190 and a 90 gr hollow point @ 3440. 130 class bullet for big stuff. 90 gr for chucks and yotes. Had to rebarrel in 2004 going with a Lilja 10 twist 27" barrel. The barrel switch brought the average group size down from ~.75" to an average of ~,50" The magic of the rifle was that the adjustment between the 130 and 90 grain offerings was 0.50 inches of windage. Pretty sweet. I'm surprised that texas270 has problems with the 140 NAB. Mine shoots all Nosler offerings equally well. Before switching to a 270 Allen Mag the ol' girl was tested to 645 yds with the 140 NAB @ 3200. It took work to miss milk jugs at that distance. With new bullet offerings the 270 Win may well again rise to its prior status along with other 277 cal cartridges. Thanks for the article. It gave ol' Jack and the Winny the respect due both.
