[QUOTE="DREBS, post: 764818, member: 61655"] Gotcha ok 2 things one you want a g7 bullet past 700 yards that also can be identified as a VLD ( Very low drag) that means the back of the bullet is tapered, it is a boat tail on steroids. The only 4 I know of worth a **** in a .277 thru a .308 are berger VLD's, serria matchkings, and hornaday A-max's and match. IMHO no nosler's can compete because they don't have any good g7 bullets that preform anywhere close to what a berger does at 1000 yards. Give me a 270 .486 in a g7 VLD And a .550 in a g1 (flat back) or g2 barley tapered and if I plan on doing any shooting past 600 yards ill take the lesser b.c with the VLD g7 all dayy. Ok the title of this forum is is it possible to use a 270 as a 1k gun.. Possible yes, ideal, no. To shoot a 150 gr bullet you must have at least a 1 in 9 twist barrel you might have someone building it for you, but with the way the market is right now I would check on its availability, Almost all reloading ammo and powders are on back order where I am at least and I know up north it's worse.
