[QUOTE="John Polk, post: 1902437, member: 109560"] I have three .270's and when I learned that Nosler was going to make a165 grain ablr bullet I was so excited I called Nosler to find out the particulars and to be sure that it would shoot well in my rifles. Nosler was absolutely adamant that this bullet would not work in my rifles because they had a ten to one twist. I had heard that Burger and others making heavy bullets in .277 so l was confused. I want to thank all of you for a very enlightening and educating discussion that has helped me and reawaken my interests in the .270 and what it's role is. I go back to the days of Jack O'Connor and I remember reading several of his articles in which he was extolling the virtues of the .270 and I remember that two of the key things he thought about the .270 was that it provided a flatter trajectory and a lower recoil than the .30-06 with the then prevalent steel butt-plated stocks as sold by Winchester. The .270 was designed in the early 1920's for an 130 grain bullet to achieve the results listed above. I'm sure at that time heavy bullets were not even considered because of the then very popular .30-06 defining the design parameters of .270. The ten to one twist was entirely adequate for a 130 grain bullet and that tradition as carried that on to the present day. Take Nosler at its word and rebarrel your rifles if you want to use the 165 grain ABLR bullets. [/QUOTE]
