I'm looking to build another 270 Win, already have one in an ultralight package, this project will be on a Win 70 I already have in 30-06 and I want to use a Proof carbon barrel blank. The question I have is this...Proof only offers a 22" .277 barrel in 7.5 twist, pretty speedy for a 270 win. I want the 22" barrel as I will be using a suppressor. Bullet weights will be 140-150s but not sure if the 7.5 is going to cause me problems, would appreciate info from anyone who may have experience with such things.
You have ask why I'm bothering with a 270W? Well, I've built a few DIY pre-fits the last couple of years, all suppressed, and my Win 70s are collecting dust. I've got a 30-06 with a new Douglas barrel and McM stock that I can't figure what to do with it and won't sell it, if I'm going to use it, I want a new barrel/chambering threaded 5/8-24.
