[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 1433006, member: 48043"] --8" twist --26" or more bbl. length --any of the major brands for BBL... I am running a 27" shilen (#5 contour) with a 8" twist --with 175 eld-x I am at 3.81" OAL- pushing these with a stout dose of 50BMG --a brake is not necessary but if you want to cut weight and go with a trim bbl. (like a #3 contour) it may cut recoil- I'd do a radial like a Vias if I were to brake mine --if your action is a mk5 you will need a bit of mag. well work as the 270roy has partition in the mag. -- not as big deal but you will not be able to go much over 3.4" with it in -- bullet weights- 140 grain and up; currently my standard load is a 140nos AB with 82 rl25 in rem. brass with a 215; my newer load is the 175eld-x with 50BMG in Bertram brass with a 215 [/QUOTE]
