Am lookin' into a .270 WCF Bbl., 24"/1:8 twist, specifically to shoot these:

...a long way.

Along w/ the 160 gr. Partition, think that RL-26/CCI-200 will make it work.

What would be your thoughts on a .270 Win. AI for this application, assuming the Bbl. maker has the reamer?

.030 extra BC over the 150 ABLR isn't enough gain for the velocity you're going to lose via the extra 15gn of projectile weight.

I've posted this on other 270Win/150gn threads but, FWIW:

1:8 Lilja 3-groove Kimber Montana dupe contour @ 22" in 270Win gives me 3050fps w/60.5gn of '26 @ OAL of 3.335 in Rem brass, 150ABLR projectile.
