Interestingly enough, one could load a 270 Weatherby with the 130 grain Berger Classic Hunter at 3400 fps, and at 400 yards, it is within .5" of drift, and .2" of trajectory of the 26 Nosler, when both are zeroed at 250 yards, at 3200 feet ASL.

Edit: A Berger at 3400 fps probably wouldn't be my first choice if and when an up-close shot presented itself. I simply put this up as an example of what a similar extant round is capable of.
