[QUOTE="therifleman556, post: 1610434, member: 101898"] There's really no arguing this. The only reason to go 270 is because someone wants one. Still, I think the bullet selection overblown. How many times do we hear someone who has literally burned a barrel out with one or two different bullets? What are those most commonly used LR bullets? Bergers? NAB/LR? ELDX/M? The 270 has all those available too save for the match version of the ELD. What it needs now is for the standard twist to catch up to today's style of shooting and reloading. No one should apologise for running a 270 of any flavor. I'm really high on the WSM right now. Would it be better as a 7mm? Maybe, but I think this is as much performance as I could handle in a ~8 1/2 lb rifle burning 70+ grains of powder. I'm not sure if I'd enjoy it with a 180 grain cork. A 145 grain ELD at 3200 fps is nothing to sneeze at. [/QUOTE]
