[QUOTE="Coyote Shadow Tracker, post: 2081597, member: 116439"] Not enough information on what your intended use for the .270 is. Getting to 3300 fps is hot for this caliber. Are you just looking to have a fast barrel burner? Is this for hunting or target? I am sure there are a lot more folks on this site to guide you. I shoot a 270WSM. Sierra has a 140gr SGK with .457 bc @ 2800 fps and above. A 270 Win with all hodgen powders will only get you to about 2770fps. then going with a 270WSM you can get up to 3100fps, then a 270 Weatherby Mag will get you up to 3100+. As far as barrels Bartlin cuts fine 5R barrels. Probably want an 1-8 twist with 140-150 gr bullets. You really need to think about your expectations for a .270. [/QUOTE]
