[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 764935, member: 2736"] To the original Poster. After reading all of the post, I would agree with almost all of them if I were going to build a rifle for competition. But Your question was "Could You Use A 270" and the answer is definitely yes. High BC bullets are definitely an Improvement over what we had 20 years ago But before all of these great bc bullets, records were set at 1000 and 2000 yards with conventional bullets that are still hard to improve on. The difference is the shooters had to read wind,mirage,Temperature and practice more to be proficient. The better bullets have made it easer (It,s stil not easy) on the shooter and the conditions have less effect on the newer bullets. There was a time that a bullet with a G1 BC that had a .600+ BC was a great bullet and was used in all competitions. So with all that said , a modern bullet for the 270 is as good or better than the best match grade bullets that were used to set all of the records that are still hard to beat. Even then the new records are only a couple of inches better than the "Old" records set with the "Old" bullets. Shooter proficiency is still the most important thing for long range shooting IMO.
