[QUOTE="Alibiiv, post: 1736671, member: 69192"] In my opinion the .27OWin will meet most needs of the long-range hunting enthusiasts who are looking for a light recoiling, 300-500 yard rifle, especially when one takes into account the individual's shooting capabilities. Nosler is making the 150gr, .277 bullet in their Accu Bond Long Range bullet, a ballistic coefficient of .591; and, nope it isn't a .660 BC, but....it will do what I want it to do at the distances I want to hunt with. I just built a .270AI, I getting close to 3300fps with the 150gr ABLR out of a 26 inch barrel, and still working on a load as I'm thinking theirs a little more to go. When a "new" cartridge line comes out, I will always go to the .270Win specs and compare the "new" cartridge to the "ole" (1925) cartridge to see how much of a "better" performer it is and if it is worth following. I also think that the .270WSM is a tough cartridge to beat, but....it ain't so light in the recoil department. And....something that I have found when making comparisons, that is it's always worth looking at barrel lengths when making the comparisons, especially on the overbore cartridges. [/QUOTE]
