Why No Love For 270 Ackley Improved?

[FEENIX]

Hoarder!

Guilty!

That was my original plan after using up my remaining 175s and 165s but got lucky when a member sold me these ...View attachment 130528

Just rub it in why don'tcha! Lol

Sorry brother, my bad ... I get lucky once is awhile.

 

[therifleman556]

Yeah, me too. At least three times that I can prove...

I had one. I ordered a 9 twist from Douglass to shoot longer bullets...they sent a 10 twist.
Frustrated with them I just kept it. It shot good with 140vld at 3150fps.

I know a couple of members here FEENIX and Big Jake Duke have/had them also.

Just rebarrelled my favorite hunting rifle with a Proof Research 1-8.4

There aren't as many high BC bullets available for the 277 cal compared to the 7mm or 6.5 mm. It's still an excellent round and one to consider.

That was true, but ive just started shooting the 150gr Cutting Edge Lazers and they are a dream. One day ieven recover one. So far two complete pass thrus at 300 on a cow elk and 575 colorado mule deer

I pondered the idea of a 270AI, but was quickly dissuaded into building a 270 Weatherby instead.
Pluses are that it fits in the same size action and is really much faster than the 270AI could ever be.
I have used 22-250AI, 257BobAI and 338-06AI.
Of all, the only one I still have is the 22-250AI. all the others have been sent down the road or barrels removed.
In fact, I like my standard 338-06 much more than the AI version, less fuss and just gets the job done.

Cheers.

Went that route and made a 270-300 win mag. Excellent choice

PacNor and Mcgowen makes 8 twist 270 caliber barrels.

I have a 1-8 pacnor and a 1-8.4 proof
But i could never tame the 170 bergers. Still ha e 300 of them if anyone is interested

270 Sherman. Up to 3100' with a 170 on an '06 Bolt face

I just checked their website, but didn't find any indication they were no longer shipping to the US.
Do you have inside info we should be aware of?

When it was sold the original owner kept the 270 dies. I have heard recently is is starting production but i have not seen any. I have 165s and 175s if anyone wants to try them

Phillip,

You, Sir, are having way too much fun. I am glad you're staying with the .270 AI shortlist club.

270 Winchester is PERFECT.

 

[Big Jake Duke]

Yes, but just imagine it a little more perfecter.

Yes, but just imagine it a little more perfecter.

Maybe so, but Parker Ackley didn't think much of it
