Probably a faster twist than a standard barrel but cant see where you would need them anyway
Atleast 1in9 probably more likely 1in 8 twist.
They will be for the 27 nosler which has a 1 in 8.5 twist rate.
Has anyone had any luck finding what BC these are?
wsm would send em alright with right twist
Been trying no luck, don't think they've released them as a reloading component yet, be perfect in your rig.Quote:

I've got a few hundred of the 165gr matrix bonded, .277 bullets, Marshall, the bullet maker, recon they go all right in a 1-10 twist, esp. the WSM and Wby, his words where, "push em hard,"
He also said a faster twist is ideal, and recommend a 1-8 as then I could shoot his 175gr, .277
I had a go with my EW M70 270wsm,(1-10) it didn't seam to like them, nor anything else I tried, sold rifle and gave up. Gave a few hundred away, to others to try, never heard back, so don't know.
Was a few fellows shooting them in long range comps over here, Its, well known Marshall has rubbed a few noses in the mud, with his 270 at long range, much to the disgust of the 300 win, 7mm, 6.5 shooters.
Nathan Foster mentioned those heavyweights in one of the books..... when will nosler put a plastic tip in a 160 grn partition....... up the BC and it might just be the ducks nuts,while still being 1;10 friendly.
when you look up the BC of the old speer 170 grn round nose and put them into a ballistics calculator......its actually pretty darn good out to medium range if you can push them semi fast.
It will be lower than Nosler claims.
The title of this thread alone proves that absolutely, anything is possible[emoji1787][emoji1787]
