[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 1179177, member: 20646"] As EricL mentioned, i think the .280AI w/your 1:9.5 twist and 168gr-ers will be the better option than the 270WSM which hovers on the border with it's 1:10 twist. Out to 800yds the BC differences may not negatively effect "real world" performance too much, whereas stabilization can at all ranges. To me, i think you can rest more confidently that the 168gr pills are able to be maximized in your lothar. You can take her up to max. pressure/velocity and keep the bullet rpm's where they should be even through the lower transonic stage. Also, good on ya for not taking a shot you were not 100% confident with your gear. Good ethics in action. [/QUOTE]
