I agree with fast twist .270, I just put one together myself with a 7 twist McGowan. I'm stuck in Kommifornia and I have to shoot lead free, not sure I would spin lighter lead pills that fast

This may not be helpful in the slightest as an apples to oranges comparison but a while back (okay ten years ago now) I experimented with the 180 woodleigh weldcore in 270 win. Again, 10 grains heavier, jacket waaaaaay thicker, and bearing surface multiple times longer probably. But still a data point. Best velocity came with rl25. 2600 fps in a 22 inch. I believe it was 57 grains in a Winchester case

Thank you Calvin45, I have a couple boxes of those to try in my 27 Sherman mag,

Berger has always been fast to answer my emails. But they updated their format for sharing load data. Looks nice, thanks for sharing! Now that puts a fast twist 270 Win or 270 AI back on the table for my JC Higgins Mauser.

Nice! I assume from quite a while ago now? Before they had that fire?

The good news is they will be up and running and already are retooling. For a while the plan was they were just going to be done which would be such an absolute tragedy. I love their stuff. I use bullets from about any manufacturer, but for premiums hammer of USA and woodleigh of Australia are what I'm most eager to spend my money on. I've been in email correspondence with them a bit too. Just good honest real world salt of the earth folks. I've sought to encourage them by simply telling them that when they're products hit Canadian shelves again, I'll be in line with my wallet out haha.

I'm especially interested in their 310 grain round nose weldcore out of my 358 Norma magnum. It has the 12 twist needed for that pill. Should be an absolute MONSTER CRUSHER!

Good deal! I just found same data. My .270 has 27", 1:8tw, 0.290 freebore so I can seat them out pretty far to take advantage of 3.65 max COAL. Adds case capacity plus speed with longer barrel.

I shoot a 270ss... I am pushing the 150 NABLR at 3075 FPS out of a 20" barrel. I am in love with this cartridge and the rifle I put together around it.
