Very succinct, “ likes to shovel sand against the tide” 👍

My next question, is where do the heavy / long 270 bullets sit ? Another caliber with a traditional 10” twist
Why swim against the tide when 6.5 and 7 mm have established the quicker twist standard. I don’t believe there’s much to be gained within reasonable hunting ranges.
