Do you think they’ll change the .270s twist rate?

[QUOTE="35 Whelen, post: 1875276, member: 105990"] The heavier bullets for .270's are long range hunting bullets. The old 6.5 cartridges were all so hunting rifles, they had fast twist to stabilize the long 160gr. round nose hunting bullet for the 6.5's. They were not long range bullets, just long heavy for caliber hunting bullets. By having a fast twist for this purpose gave the 6.5's a head start for long range bullets. [/QUOTE]
