[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2285506, member: 10755"] I built a switch barrel on a Win Model 70 EW with a 264WM, 270Bee and 338WM. All had 10” twists….earlier this year I ordered a 9” twist 270Bee barrel, it came back from being cryo’d about 3 weeks ago and I have only fired a few rounds of 150g ABLR down the pipe to run it in. Very first 5 shots were all touching, very impressed. Finished length is 28”, it was 30” but I lopped 2” off and recrowned because there must have been a chip or something caught near the muzzle when I ran the boresighter in there. Anyway, it was a longitudinal scratch about 3/4” long. My vote is definitely a 270 Weatherby…130’s @ 3500fps really drops animals like the hammer of Thor. I’d go 8” twist, which is what I should have done, but the really long bullets are almost impossible to get in Australia anyway. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
