[QUOTE="Dano1, post: 1224685, member: 14209"] Bob, Almost all factory rifles available in a .270 Win have 1-10" twist barrels. You would have to re-barrel to the 1-8" for sure. Berger is right on with their required twist rates. I wouldn't waste any time or powder trying to make a bullet shoot out of a barrel that is rated for a faster twist. I learned this the hard way with my 6.5-06 Improved. a 1-8" twist will shoot practically anything but will over stabilize the lightest varmit bullets. A 170g Bullet in a 270 sounds interesting for sure. Something definitely worth looking into and contemplating for a custom rifle build. Hope this helps, Dan [/QUOTE]
