Should be pretty close for your purposes, but back data off a bit, and build up carefully.
I know they wouldn't stable is a 270 win, with a 1-10, but will in a 270 WSM, exact words were push em hard,
Lilga I think, ? did a special run of 1-8 twist 270 barrels, I know at least one other USA manufacture has .277 with a faster twist, I looked into it a few years back. when I was keen on the matrix bullets,
It will probably be easier to just do a 280 or 280AI,
I like odd ball calibers,(.17 fireball, vartarg, 6x45, .264 win,300H&h, 358 win) but it isn't always the best, fastest and cheapest, way to get to the target.

Thanks, yea I can find quite a few manufacturers making 1:8 barrels but have no clue how to go about getting one. I got pretty excited about the idea of getting hold of a proof carbon but have been stopped in my tracks now as they tell me they cant/don't do a 1:8. Those Matrix look like the go for my current setup, have done a bit of research on them and they are designed to work in a 1:10 if pushed hard I just can't find where to get them!

I am back in NZ in a six weeks, I will see how many matrix 165gr I have, 150 or so in NZ @ a guess, cost you box (12) of quality beer & shipping . (not Waikato, swap water.) I don't have anything that can run them, except for a Mt 700, Mt rifle 270 win, and that's going too,

Matrix bullets was sold, still in operation in BC Canada, they guy who bought it, is putting most production runs into target bullets,
I see he has them aviable again, if they work, I can get you more.
