A generation ago, velocity was all we had.

I own and shoot 270 Win/WSM & Wby. I just don’t have anything to offer to add to what has already been shared. For me it boils down to my love for the 150gr Nosler Partition and it’s outstanding capabilities.


130-grain at 3,400 makes point and click feasible to 350-400 yards. Nice to just hunt and not worry about fancy reticles, dialing and range finders.
