[QUOTE="dxlbaile, post: 2071504, member: 91579"] I updated the post with barrel length.. I don't personally like RL 26 because I live in New Mexico and hunt barbary in some hot temps.. I locked the bolt up on a gun when it got hot with RL 26 so, I use other powders that aren't temp sensitive over 80 F.. I love RL for steel in cooler temps.. Anyway, I wouldn't hesitate to rebarrel a 270 with a 1:8 and shoot the heavies.. I am always a fan of shooting the heaviest bullet for caliber I can.. A good smith could probably tell us what amount of freebore would be good to stretch the 270 a little.. 2900 fps is awesome though. I have no complaints at this point.. I just needed something to do during Covid so I rebarreled the ole 270 and I am sure glad I did. I can't say enough good about the Ramshot Mag with this Combo.. As a after thought; wouldn't it be fun to see what the new Hammer bullets would do in a 1:8 twist.. I guess I better get some ordered. Probably be 3000 or better. [/QUOTE]
