[QUOTE="MajorSpittle, post: 1479556, member: 53101"] I am looking at buying a hunting/target rifle that will get me out past 1000yrds. I reload and have a ton off 30-06/270 brass (current rifles '06 tikka, 270 rem 700). I just acquired the 270 remington 700 from my father-in-law (pick it up next friday) but it has a 10" twist and I would like to shoot high BC rounds. My goal is a mid-light weight long range hunting rifle with low recoil. Problem is that all the factory rifles seem to have stupidly slow twist rates (why?). Does anyone know of a .270wsm/270win/280Ai with a twist rate that will work for say 170/195 Berger EOL bullets? So far the only rifle I have seen is the Steyr Pro Hunter .270 Win with 8.6" twist. I wish I knew what COAL I could load to for the Magazine. Does anyone have any input on this rifle? Bonus Rant: WTH do manufactures put such slow twist rates on rifles? Is there a reason my 30-06 TiKKA is 11" twist? Does this help with lighter rounds? Less heat? Is there a real reason? Why are all the .270 rifles twisted the same as 30-06 @ 10"? Even the so called "Long Range" or "Target Grade" rifles that come in Magnum versions with long barrels? Are the Manufactures lazy and buyers stupid? I must be missing something with how twist rate works. :-/ [/QUOTE]
