Re: 270 win?
I like the .270 for a hunting round, it has good ballistics....but there aren't many match bullets made for it. I say shoot what ever makes you content, but there are other calibers available to you, with far more bullet choices. Not knockin the .270 at all, just saying.

Re: 270 win?
I have a friend with a .270 win. set up for long range...he shoots Berger's 150 VLD at 3000fps. BC on that bullet is .531. It reaches out there pretty good!!

Re: 270 win?
If you're talking hunting, it's a great round. For targets most prefer a 6.5 or 7mm (in similar calibers at least) due to the greater avaliability of match grade bullets in a wide variety of weights and configurations. A 6.5-06, 6.5-284, or 280 are so similar in proformance the differences are mostly achedemic.
