My only 270 is currently off getting another pipe screwed on at Pacnor. I’m going to run a 8.5 twist so I can take advantage of the heavier bullets. I was very tempted to pick up a 6.8 Westerner, but there’s really no need to improve the original 270 (Weatherby fans, no disrespect….I’ve been there and done that too, the original is just as good and way more practical).
And like others have mentioned, it sits right between 6.5 and 7mm, so it should be an accurate proposition in serious testing. I’m not aware that anyone has pursued serious bullet making in the caliber, which might be the key to unlocking its true potential.
Finally, the ole 270 is jest easy to load for and not temperamental. I think the OP asked about factory fodder. My M70 has never seen a factory round in the 20 or so years I’ve hunted with it.
