So Will the .270 Win Overtake the CM's and PRC's?

But probably not

So have we exhausted all supporters and critics after "only" 350 posts?

NEVER!!!!! 351 and climbing. I think I'm going to put a 1:7 barrel on this new savage Overwatch. Besides I won this rifle so I only have $50 into it.

I'm really thinking hard on a 270 AI

Nope but its food plot season. Been busy hanging Bears Stands running Bear baits and putting in food plots. Not much time in the evenings to do much except relax

1:8.5 twist?

Sounds like 270WSM performance. That's good numbers from a .270 Win for sure. I'm guessing your powder is RL26 ??? Either way it's smoking the 170 EOL. Again, no surprise. Guys that know the .270s potential, know that it's very much a LR cartridge. Unfortunately many don't jump on that wagon simply because many many more bullets are available for the 6.5/7/30s to run data on and settle on the best one performance wise. Having really only one true heavy weight .270 bullet, it's tough to do much if your barrel doesn't shoot it well. There's no others to turn too. Hopefully that changes.

Yes this was attained with RL26, 57.4 gr 3.484 COL

NOsler is in the hunt now. Should be able to sling these at right about 3,000 fps

Sounds like with RL26, maybe more. RL23 works well also. Not quite as fast but accurate

If you can get some StaBall 6.5 powder I'd give that a try.
