Thread: How much does a 270Win suck in 2019?

It's a great calibre, but despite owning two of them, personally I'm not a fan of it, though I'd be tempted by a .270 Weatherby.

For me, 7mm is where it's at. I like the higher BC 7mm projectiles and have just shot my Kimber Hunter .280 Ackley for the first time yesterday, using the 160gr Trophy Bonded Tipped projectiles, and from my first range shoot this rifle will be a definate keeper.

It's a shame that no major manufacturer has produced a .270 with a faster twist than 1:10, considering that there are some higher BC bullets coming out. I like the look of the 170gr Berger Elite Hunter, they have a wickedly high BC...

...A .270 Weatherby Mag fitted with a custom fast twist barrel and shooting the above mentioned projectiles would be an interesting proposition.

I present to you.... The 1:8" 27Nosler I feed it 170 Elite Hunters
