I use a 6.5x55ai with 140Amax's and it's doing 3k, used for tops shooting, really nice to shoot with a Nelson Collie carbon suppressor on it.
.270 is now relegated to bush gun..

How about 140's at over 3200 :thumbsup:
If only the shame of shooting a .270 wasn't such an issue! ;-)
Most 22" barrelled .270's will fire the 140 SST at around 3050 - 3100fps with the right load...the BC of this bullet is .495 compared to the 6.5 140 SST at .520
A lot of people seem to be under the perception that the standard .270 isn't very capable, but with the right load and bullet it will surprise a few people!
Uplandstalker, who I hunt with off this forum is running his .277 SST's at 3050fps and his 12 1/4" Bull Tahr that he shot at 520 yards on Saturday had the SST perfectly mushroomed just under the skin on the far side of the animal!
6.5-.375 Ruger ;)
223 wsm not wssm. Would be stupid ,surprised one of us hasn't got one already:D
