[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 647678, member: 13833"] Hi David, Welcome to the forum! A .270 W will lose approx. 40' per inch depending on the powder. A standard .270 24" barrel will max out around 3000' with a 150 grain bullet, so if you do the math, a 20" would be in the 2840' range. I would try the faster burning powders with a shorter barrel if I were you. I don't know how short you want to go, or even what legal length is in Scotland, but with a proper bullet, you should have no problem at 300 yards.......good luck/Rich [/QUOTE]
