Hi, I currently own a .270 win Fieldcraft. Barrel cut to 19.5" , use with an ultra 7. It is very accurate with factory ammo. Currently using 130 partitions. Got invited to hunter NRL and was trying to hold off on a new rifle. Can this be used to 1000? Any factory ammo suggestions? Thanks

270 Has plenty of sauce to get out to 1000, even in a 20" barrel.
The only limitation I see is 1:10 twist for the heavier bullets that are now available in 277, which would have the B.C. you'd want for 1000 yards.
That said, something rated for 1:10 like the 150 Berger or 145 ELDX would likely have a B.C. and velocity in the same ballpark as a 24" 6.5 creed with 140 class bullets, and there's no doubt that's an adequate combo for 1000 yards.
