Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles BROWNING: 26" Bbl./7.5T/.270Win...?

I understand.

If you're afraid of a 30-06, any 7 magnum probably isn't for you either.

Have you considered the 243? Fast twist 243's are pretty common now.

Again, little one, your inability to read for content has led you astray.

Precision shooting from field positions requires much more skill than your concrete bench, lead-sled, and sandbags.


My field shooting improved after shifting from 180 gr. 30-06, to 150 gr. .270Win., which is about the same as M2 ball.

Better hits - make the .270Win a better game round.

Everybody that got rid of their 7mm and 300 Mags knows that.


Marksmanship - is a skill.

... and ballistic tables don't kill game.


Try to remember that.

I was speaking more about the platform, it’ll be gone within a couple years, no one else will follow suit.

The .270Win/150 gr. is a pretty tough field round to beat.

Haven't fooled w/ them, but have heard of difficulties getting the ABLR 150 gr. to stabilize in a Std. 1:10 twist.

By far the best long range Nosler choice for the cartridge.


Getting a 1:8 twist Bbl., for that alone would be worth it if 600 yd. shots were a probability.


A really heavy Partition for the woods would be a bonus.

.270 Winchester - Testing New Bullets and Powders

"... With scope, the rifle weighed 8 pounds, 11 ounces, about a pound more than O’Connor preferred. However, one thing I discovered when using heavier bullets with new “Wonder Powders” in other .270s is higher velocities make an O’Connor-style rifle kick more like a 7mm Remington Magnum. The extra weight of the Mossberg, and its thick, soft recoil pad made shooting a bunch of test loads more pleasant, and probably more accurate, especially toward the end."
