[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1829771, member: 13632"] I've never seen a 170 go over 3100 fps in a 270 WSM, a typical stout load of Retumbo under a 150 will be 3200-3250 fps in a 26 inch barrel, norm is 2950-3000 fps for a throated 270 WSM with a 170 Berger for almost all I've built, I run around a 3.125 COAL. The 3000 fps ish is the sweet spot for the 170 from what I've seen on elk, bullet performs excellent from 75 yards out to 900 yards so far, you really don't need to push them faster to get the performance.
