[QUOTE="Eric Alexander, post: 2163570, member: 89813"] I think the article leaves alot to be desired. It does not really discuss the real options for 27 Caliber rifles. The key is not so much the cartridge as it is the barrel twist. put a 1:8 twist barrel on any of them and yiu can shoot the high BC bullets. The 6.8 and 270 WSM will be a little faster than the .270WCF, but slower than a .270 Wby or 27 Nosler. Choose the speed you need, then the cartridge will follow. For a 165gr ABLR, the 6.8 & 270wsm will give you around 2900 fps, Weatherby and Nosler 3000+, 270wcf 2750. [/QUOTE]
