Maybe you have a jealousy issue. You thread didn't get any response so you decided to hijack someone else's thread. You are just making excuses on why you won't do something instead of doing what is right.

Not at all. I put the new thread up after it was suggested.
I have never got a Berger or Hornady to shoot well out of any of my rifles, while others swear by them. As for a 277 cal bullet that shoots accurately and is deadly on any game I go to Nosler Partition 140 gr out of my Tikka T3x. The 140 gr shoots .6 moa, The Partition 130 gr and Sierra Game Kings both will shoot sub moa just not as small a group usually around ,7 to .8 moa.

Accubonds, hammers, good ole core lokt, power point and fusion all shoot well in my 270's
Assume that the new barrel is floated, the action is not binded in the stock, trigger is smooth and consistent, scope and mounts known good, etc.?
Here but a few humble offerings in .277. I expect to see more, (heavier), as different twist rates become available.
90 grain
100
110
115
120
130
135
140
150
165
I've shot all of these except for the 165.
Never had a need to go that heavy.
In the late eights, Sierra sent me a pack of 115 grain bullets to try. I don't think they were marketing them yet. I was a frequent caller to their tech support which was absolutely stellar. Those guys knew their stuff.

Just flipping through the pages here it looks like maybe 10% of the responses are addressing the OP's question of what he should try in a fast twist .270 Win. That's too bad.
Mi dos centavos:
You chose an 8" twist for a reason. If you just wanted to shoot 150s and under, 10" twist is proven for that. So I'd be focusing on the bullets that were made for the .277/fast twist combo. Look at what's loaded in the 6.8 Western.
Try the 165 ABLR, the 175 TGK, the 170 Berger and 170 Nosler BT. If one or more of these works, you'll be getting your money's worth out of the new barrel.
Best of luck and thanks to the folks that tried to address the actual question.

And don't forget the 160gr maker t-rexs!!!
I think the reason most respondents didn't answer the question exactly is because most .270's are barreled with the standard 1-10 twist.
Anything slower would relatively be a much newer manufacturing offering such as a 6.8 Western. But I could be wrong.
Yep! It's nice to be on that ten percenter.
But the OP clearly noted it in his thread title.

If you can't get a hornady interlock flat base to shoot then it's a lost cause. The 145 gr eldx seconds is not a good indicator or your rifles accuracy potential. Too many unknowns with them.
