[QUOTE="Hired Gun, post: 878733, member: 1290"] The only 270Wby I've built so far was a 24" factory 270Win barrel to start with. The guy was using 140 and 150's so I have no personal experience with the 165. Just looking at the conservative load tables and considering factory 270Wby ammo gets 150's out at 3245 I would think 165's in a 26" tube ought to hit 3100. The factory ammo has been detuned a bunch from where it was. I remember seeing the 270 hitting 3500 with 140 grain factory ammo. On a 257 Wby each inch is near 75 to 100 fps. If you are getting 3100 out of a WSM the Weatherby ought to smoke that by a fair amount. [/QUOTE]
