[QUOTE="cowboyarcher, post: 865601, member: 14163"] This is a range report, but it might be useful: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f19/270-win-165-175-matrix-range-report-118585/[/url] You should be able to run the 165's from a 10 twist at any elevation. I'm up high enough that I am stabilizing the 175's from a 10 twist. I'm driving them at 2840 fps from a 24" McGowen tube, so I am out performing most 7mm Mags with them! As for performance on game, I have put down one bull elk at 430 yards with them. The shot placement was not the best (my first bull and it had been 10 years since my last elk, I had the fever!), but two shots put him down without a need to trail him. One bullet tore through the high back creating a 2" exit wound, and the other we could not find, even after skinning. Not the most scientific data, but I hope it helps! [/QUOTE]
