Did a run through the Berger camp today. Berger coming out with their new 217 Elite Hunter this fall. I told them they better up their lot sizes cause this could be a great thing.
New Berger .30 cal 217 Elite Hunter 👍👍👍👍

217 Elite Hunter you say? I'm in! Guessing BC between the 220 LRHT and the 215 Hybrid? Should be an awesome bullet.
Also the .270 crowd getting a boost with a new 150 grain Hybrid Target bullet available this summer. That might get some more love to the 6.8mm for sure.
217 will have a G7 BC of .356 and the 150 will have a G7 BC of .297

As much as I love the 215 hybrid, its nice to have more choices in the 200+ grain "hunting" lines.

NICE!!! More stuff to buy!!! I think I need to get a second job. 
Looking forward to this .270 as should be a good match for the 270WSM.

If the 215 Hyb, 220 LRHT, and 230 Hyb are 1:10" minimum, I can't see this 217 Elite being different.
TAG I'M IN. Thanks. 
EDIT: I was hoping for something in the
160gr. for 270.
Can't have everything.

Agreed. That's why I asked. Perhaps a 9.5" or 9" twist?
No twist. But I'm 99% sure like Lance it will be a 1:10" twist. Here is their display sheet
