[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1962982, member: 9299"] Good shooting and nice choice. Its nice to see "old" things obtain new life, and a 170 Berger @ 3,000fps is a nice load. Agreed! In my opinion and for more room, it would have been better. I have a couple of 270Wins with a little freebore that allows me to seat the bullets out and use more of the case's powder capacity. The same with a couple of 30-06's. Years ago, I played with a 270 Gibbs, and I really enjoyed that rifle and cartridge. For the bullets of the day, I only used a 1/10 twist, but it was a fast and tight shooter. Before I grow too much older, I would like to build another 270 Gibbs with an 8 twist, but given the performance of modern powders and for simplicity, I may just settle for a fast twist, long throated 26" 270W or AI version.
