[QUOTE="vortech347, post: 2323608, member: 73645"] Off the shelf, 6.5 PRC. Custom then you have options. My XBolt 6.5 PRC with 156 Bergers at 2950 fps has 1859 fps / 1197 ft lbs at 900 yards. It has 1493 ft lbs at 700 yards. Your out of the box 22" 270 Win shooting a 150 grn will not carry that much energy at distance. Now build it with a fast twist 26" barrel and shoot 170's and then it will outperform the 6.5 PRC. It burns more powder. But you are building something semi or full custom at that point and you'll have to reload to get those heavies. The 6.8 Western is the modern 270 Win answer to the 6.5 PRC. [/QUOTE]
