Hey Mule Deer and Ingwe. In another post, someone put up a link to Midway selling 180gr. bullets for the .270WCF. Have either one of you had any experience with such a long bullet in a 1-10 twist barrel?

True dat..the only proper use for a .270 case would be a .30 cal....

I thought maybe barnes did...in their "original".... They made some crazy heavy bullets in some calibers.....

Barnes used to make their "Original" lead-core, copper-jacketed bullet in a .270 180 round-nose, and Woodleigh makes a 180-grain Protected Point softnose, also a pretty blunt-nosed bullet.
Both will stabilize in a 1-10 twist. In fact both were designed to stabilize in a 1-10 twist, because otherwise a heavy .270 bullet wouldn't sell. They probably wouldn't stay stabilized out beyond 500 yards, but I don't think anybody would plan on shooting them beyond 250 yards.

Honestly, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of a. 270? At that rate it'd be akin to loading a 150 in a 25-06 right?
