You are a walking commercial for the 27 Nosler, because that 150gr ABLR is designed to require the 1:8.5" twist of that cartridge. It can't be reliably used in a factory .270.

There are no magic bore diameters, but there are twist rates that allow better performance. The .270, in Winchester's ignorance, got the wrong twist and sucks if any sort of distance is on the agenda. Of course the fangirls can't hear this about their crush, but it's true.

I doubt anybody was worried about fast twist rate with common bullet weights/designs and what we now consider "long range" in 1925.

The same can be said of most cartridges out there if that's the case.
