the other resistance to 270 ever going anywhere is, look at the barrel twist in those millions of old rifles. Its really only the newer guns and that is IF they speed up the twist that new bullets could even be taken advantage of. a 270 that shoots 200 fps faster than a 270 win, doesn't sound like its really going to be a beneficial amounts when its not like your going to be using a 270 as a 6-800 yard gun.
I have shot a 1:10 twist 270 with the 145gr ELD-X quite a bit out to 800 yards. Nothing wrong with that combo at all. I can not imagine a 1:8 twist with higher BC bullets being worse.
I have not shot any of the standard 130gr bullets out of my 1:8 twist 270WCF, but it would not cause me any concern. A lighter constructed bullet could be even more explosive on game. But a mono metal might actually benefit from the faster RPM.
Industry support is not as vibrant with the 270, but it is there, and getting better.
