Speaking only for myself the reason why I went for a fast twist 270 was I finally realised the 270 Win is a great cartridge in its own right after years of ignoring it. I also wanted to have at least one round around here that I could find cheap factory ammo at Canadian Tire if necessary. The fast twist part does mean I can experiment with pretty much any bullet currently made which is quite enjoyable for me. This 270 Win is largely replacing my 264 WM (which I like) and works just as good so far after chronographing loads.
