The 2019 Fieldcrafts .270s are 1-9" twist. Maybe they can do the same with 25-06? :mrgreen:

A fast twist .270 in a Fieldcraft is a compelling development!

I've never owned a 270, but the danged thing slings 130's at over 3,000 fps with ease, and 150's at 2900+ fps with careful powder selection. It's always been a flat-shooting, accurate deer slayer.
As I recall, Gerry has been getting excellent results from his 160 grain loads...
Twisting it a little tighter, and adding some high BC bullets... Can only improve things I'd think.

gerry":n8731c2s said:You know Guy a lightweight 270 Win would fit in nicely between your 25-06 and 30-06 And yes I'm happy with the 150 Ballistic Tip and 160 gr Partition, my gun really likes them and so do I.
