hi,,,i recently came across a savage 270 winchester,22" barrel,1 in 10 twist,,,i'll be shooting 140 grain noslers bt's out of it for my first bullet try,,,i have always understood a shorter barrel needs a faster burning powder than a longer one,although 2" would probably decrease my muzzle...

my ruger m77 seems to love 67.5 grains of imr 4350 with a sierra 215 grain gameking,,,7/8 inch groups of 3 at 100 with this rifle,,,however the browning a-bolt is a little more hissy of what you put through her,,,had to put a muzzle on her because she just beat me up after 15 rounds with my 160...
