For that kind of money,I'd get a Pre '64 Winchester M 70 .270 Featherweight or Standard and use the left over cash for a Zeiss scope.

I'm not speeding that much. That's just one I found while cruising. I know where a couple "probables" are hiding.

The typical 130's and 150's do their job. The 270 components are everywhere. I'm stocked with appropriate powders as well.

Not that my 260, 6.5 Creedmoor or 7-08 can't get the job done....and I know there is no real world advantage the 270 offers over my 308 or 243 for the animals I hunt.

I started out with a 270 and evolved. Maybe I've come full circle?


Don't listen to those pack of festering ingrates, the .270 is definitely not gay...it is more a butchly feminine!


One on left (and bottom) is the 1956 Brno ZG47 .270 I sold to my brother.

Try 85 TSXs at 3800 with RE17. Bad mothers.

P.S. Good call on the 270.

You need to drop the hammer on that one and snag a synthetic stock for hunting. No one's going to make fun of that rifle, ever.

You could build up a 700 for less money, but you'll likely take a bigger hit selling it (and we all know you're going to sell it... laugh ).

My bad, Barnes shows 3900 out of a 24" barrel.

http://www.barnesbullets.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/05/270WinchesterWeb2.pdf

I quit at 3800 in my own 22" barreled rifles. Figured 3800 would work just fine. wink

I suspect another good one would be the 95 TTSX at 3700. Would make a 257 Weatherby redundant.

Yeah, at hunting ranges the 85 shoots flatter and drifts similarly, while kicking less and penetrating as far as a 150 grain Partition (in my tests). That being said, the 95 TTSX is probably the pick of the litter for deer. Might run a 110 TTSX if elk are in the mix.

Been running all kinds of numbers. I'd choose the light X's for an up close hammer. I'd just like to see what they'd do. Drift sucks as distance increases.

I'd go with a different bullet as yardage increased.

Before you claim a .257 Roy redundant load some 80gr ttsx with 76 grains of rl-22. Just imagine a laser beam with sound effects when it smacks meat.

110's will outrun 85's around the 200'ish yard line.

I swore I'd never own a 270 but after walking in a pawnshop and seeing an old adl that looked like it had never been shot for 250.00 I called myself a liar. I hope I can't get it to shoot (highly unlikely though) so I can re-barrel to 280ai

I think he has a great plan. In fact, I'd advise finding a 7x57 to rebarrel. That way he can kill two birds with one stone.

1. Have a great new rifle in a legendary caliber

2. Save the world from another hoary old Mauser relic rifle.

Or run an 85 grain TSX in the 270 at similar speeds, while burning less powder and with less recoil and noise than the 257 Roy, plus an extra round or two in the magazine. Also the 270 has 150 grain Partitions as an option if a guy wanted to go after Brown Bear or Eland.

You talking velocity wise?

There�s no doubt that the 110 is a better all around bullet, but that 85 is a freaking laser out to the ranges most stuff is shot - I think of it as a beefed up 220 Swift.
