[QUOTE="Western4444, post: 2172923, member: 118447"] Please see discussion on page 7 and 8. I am shooting Nosler 165 ABLR, 170 Berger Elite and 175 Sierra TGK out of a SAAMI 270 WSM with 7 1/2 twist and getting 3000 fps and above, and still have plenty of powder capacity left to get more without adding more free bore. I am measuring the throat and seating my bullets 15/1000 off of the landes, not to exceed 2.965 [magazine limit]. The 270 WSM case holds more powder than a 45-70 and as much as a 300 WSM, so there is plenty of room for a longer bullet. There could potentially be an issue with powders with a higher volume per weight. I have not yet encountered such powder. What is your seating depth for the 170 Berger Elites? Mine COL is 2.965". I think you and I are pretty much on the same thought track here. [/QUOTE]
