[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1609888, member: 2736"] There will always be a faster cartridge so it depends on what you want if cost is a major consideration, going to an AI makes a lot of sense. It will improve the performance and case life with very little change to anything and the benefit on being able to shoot factory ammo in a pinch can be invaluable at times. If you look at velocity as the main goal, there are many cartridges that are faster that the 270 but they will require extensive changes to the bolt and may need a new barrel for the new cartridge. I don't own a 270 Winchester any more for reason of the bullet selections, but they will shoot and kill well beyond lots of shooters ability. I won my first 600 yard match against some bad *** shooters with a standard 270 in a sporter rifle shooting against target rifles with 32x scopes with only a 8 x scope, so I know the potential of the 270. I regret selling the 270 and if I had one today, It would be a 270 AI. Faster is not necessarily better, just faster. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
