[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1481536, member: 12193"] In a factory rifle I would just get a 7mm Rem Mag. I have a 270 WSM and its a fine round but its not well suited to shooting the heavier bullets. Even if you can find a faster twist barrel you'll still have to deal with fitting those long bullets in there. In a short action the WSM works well with 150 grain bullets, which are great in a 1:10 twist. Longer bullets will have to be seated so deep that you'll lose performance. With a custom build you can use a long action or extended box and 1:8 or 1:9 twist but at that point why not just neck up to 7mm for better bullet selection? A 7mm Rem Mag will handle 150-180 grain bullets with ease and you won't be cramped for space in your magazine. The 28 Nosler is also a good option if you want more speed or if the 195 grain bullets appeal to you. [/QUOTE]
