[QUOTE="landcbeitner, post: 616968, member: 10214"] I'm glad you guys enjoyed the article! I think there are so many of us who've had great experiences with the old 270 win. It's exciting to have new bullets breathing life into a cartridge all but ignored for long range. I've heard rumors of a new 170gr offering from Berger. You MAY be able to stabilize these bullets with a 1:10 twist (I know of a couple 1:10 270 short mags using these bullets with success). However both the bullet manufacturer and the barrel maker recommend a 1:9 twist. You can see in the last pic in the article, these are very long bullets... they are actually both longer than the .284" 168gr Berger VLD. If you are able to choose your twist (like with a custom rifle) I would definitely go 1:9. If you already have a 1:10 barrel I would certainly give them a try... just be sure to test them in colder temps and lower elevations to insure you won't have problems in the field. Lucas [/QUOTE]
