    No one Ackley's a 270 for that reason. No real gain. 270 driving 110gr Barnes is lethal. I loaded plenty for dude who flattens stags up Tuai.

    I know that the accepted wisdom is 'no gain on 270 Ackley' but considering the 280 AI is quite a big improvement on standard, it seems likely that if someone already had a rifle with a fast twist barrel, with new powders and heavy high BC pills the 270AI should work ???

    even with std twist barrel......faster is faster no matter the twist...... I cant see 280AI dies with .277 expander ball being far off the mark either...all depends on chamber I guess.
