Thread: 150 grain bullets in .270win

Now with the LRAB doing 2700 I'm 12" low. I realise if your dialling it shouldn't be an issue, but getting projectiles flying flat(ish) is going to be more advantageous than a b52 bomber.

I tend to agree. The advantage of the .270 is the proposed flatter shooting slug at around the 3-500m mark? If I wanted a 150 to do 2700fps I'd just buy a packet of whatever's and grab the 308 and go shooting wouldn't I???!!!
Devils advocate I know as a 150 doing over 2500fps has shot more deer than any other flavour.
Interesting reading.
