[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1343903, member: 97196"] Dosh. 270 WSM is one of my favorite hunting rifles but it is worth stepping up to a 1:8 twist barrel if possible. I have every confidence taking a 1000 yd shot on deer with 170gr EOL or 150gr LRAB, but an 8 twist is required to achieve the required/advertised BC with these two bullets. I prefer Retumbo for my 170gr and 150gr loads although IMR 4350 has produced some very accurate loads for me with 150gr, just can't achieve the same velocity as Retumbo or H1000. It has been easier to achieve accurate loads with 140gr and 150gr bullets with the IMR4350 in the 270 WSM, for me, than any other powder I've tried. Since I do use this round for 1000 yard shots on deer I push the heavy bullets at higher speeds with the slower burning powders. Practically no recoil while delivering 1400ft-lbs of energy at 1000 yards (170gr EOL at 3050 fps, U5.3 mils, sighted in at 300 yards) [ATTACH]81188[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
