[QUOTE="bjork, post: 1801499, member: 85512"] i've ordered a arc nucleus short action w/ mag bolt face. i think i might try to snag a manners eh6a to keep a good cheek weld w/ the action's rail height along with the can on the end of the barrel. i'll be going with the 270 wsm. i can get 7, 7.5, 8, and 9 twist .277 barrels. there's a number of heavies, 170 eol, 165 and 175 matrix, 145 eldx, 150 ablr, and i suspect other offerings are on the way. looks like 2.95 to 2.98 c.o.a.l. w/ drop mags. i expect i'll be looking to stay in the 140 to 165 range as far as the heavies due to mag length constraints. i also have a few thousand 110 tsx and 95 ttsx. if i run an a 18 or 20 270 wsm and i'm running 110 to 165 grain rounds what twist should i look at va silent arsenal? would 8 be sufficient or go a little tigher? sounds like you'd suggest 7 or 7.5. i have plenty of rl17 for the 110s. what's the slowest powder you recommend with 18-20 inch barrels? a lot of the guys running 150 grainers and up are getting the best velocities w/ retumbo, h1000, rl26 etc. i kinda doubt i'll get a high enough burn percentage in the barrel lengths we're talking about. but of course, i've not done this before- so who knows. perhaps i'm just looking at using rl17 with a lower case fill? i may cut back my current 284 win to 18". jmcmath, i don't think i have the stones to go w/16 :) one of my biggest concerns is the sight picture w/ the can. i'll have to mock something up to see where things stand if cut back to 18". i won't raise the scope height on this rifles...it shoulder perfectly, and i had to modify a few things to get it to where its at. in almost all circumstances i hunt at 6x or higher so it may not be a problem. like i said, will need to test this before deciding to do anything permanent. my current 284 win attached below. before anyone comments, everything clears, i wouldn't change a thing.
