Thread: new project. what to do.........

I use a 6.5x55ai with 140Amax's and it's doing 3k, used for tops shooting, really nice to shoot with a Nelson Collie carbon suppressor on it.
.270 is now relegated to bush gun..

How about 140's at over 3200

If only the shame of shooting a .270 wasn't such an issue! ;-)

Most 22" barrelled .270's will fire the 140 SST at around 3050 - 3100fps with the right load...the BC of this bullet is .495 compared to the 6.5 140 SST at .520
A lot of people seem to be under the perception that the standard .270 isn't very capable, but with the right load and bullet it will surprise a few people!

Uplandstalker, who I hunt with off this forum is running his .277 SST's at 3050fps and his 12 1/4" Bull Tahr that he shot at 520 yards on Saturday had the SST perfectly mushroomed just under the skin on the far side of the animal!

reality is the 270 is perfectly capable as you say, but I don't want what everyone else has, I want to reinvent the wheel.
oh, that and the amax 140g pill in 6.5 has a bc of .585

The barrel life is not cool for a varmint rifle.
Heard of some some very early deaths
