[QUOTE="yorke-1, post: 1828629, member: 11960"] With light(ish) bullets under 150gr I doubt there will be much difference between the 270 Weatherby and the 27 Nosler. I know that my 27 Boondoogle (270/338 RUM variant) isn't that far ahead of a hot rod Weatherby load with bullets around 150gr and less. I've landed on the 145 Sierra TGK at 3480 fps from a 25" barrel as an all-round load. Where the larger cases start to pull ahead is with the heavier bullets. Unfortunately for me, I'm getting offensively bad results with the 170gr Berger EOL (3-4 MOA with 5 different powders!) and the 1-7" twist barrel won't consistently stabilize the 168gr Hammer Hunter at my elevation (200') when the temps get below 55°. I think the 170 Berger just doesn't like to be shot over 3200 fps, especially in such a fast twist barrel. The 27 Nosler should really start to pull ahead with something like the 165 ABLR. [/QUOTE]
