[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 1955678, member: 109113"] I wouldn't call the 270 crippled at all - it's a great round and always has been. With newer powders it's gotten even better. The 1-in-10 rifling twist rate you mentioned, though, is a handicap when you look at the high-BC bullets that are starting to come on the market, so for specialized work a guy will have to re-barrel to a faster twist to use them. If he's a dyed-in-the-wool 270 fanatic, this will be just fine. If not, he's probably going to re-barrel to something newer & fancier. There are better ways to go in that arena, but in the zero-to-500 yard deer & elk hunting world, the 270 is just fine. [/QUOTE]
