[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 1953147, member: 103947"] Unfortunately the box store barrels or 99% of factory .270 barrels are slow twist and undesirable for using long low drag bullets. As I've said, my 270 shoots 130s superbly and kills deer just as superbly but at closer ranges than considered LR. That suits me just fine as I own many other LR cartridge option rifles. I'm not in a disadvantage simply because nobody (factory) makes a 270 win barrel fast enough to use low drag bullets for LR hunting. I just get a different tool out of the box. I'll keep hoping before long faster twist barrels will be born from factory rifles but until they do, I'll keep killing them at LR with today's more popular options. Remington changed hands once again so we will see where the new owner takes the company. I'm hearing possibly decent things to come. [/QUOTE]
