I have always shot a 270 as well i also use 130 grain i use the SSTs. I know what you're saying about wanting to use the heavier bullet for more down range power and accuracy cause our 1-10 twist will not stabilize the heavier bullet. But the good news is browning is now making a 1-7.5 twist long range hells canyon 24 inch barrel i have looked all the ballistics and down range power and it looks really good it has less drop than the 6.8 western and carries about the same punch equal or so with the 6.5 in drop but has more knock down. And as for comparing the 270 to the 7mm that's a laugh in it self the ballistics are really close with the old 270 and the 7 but there isn't a factory built 7mm that will consistently compete with the accuracy of a factory built 270.
