I had 270 WSM 130 gr Barnes going at 3260 fps from memory and can get about 3000 fps with the 270 Win, the former just carried a bit more whack out further. My latest reload with the 145 ELD X at 3114fps out of the standard 270 Win closes the gap on the WSM. A great caliber only getting better with the introduction of better bullets/ powders.

@Mooseman
The slightly heavier projectile (140gr+) going at the speeds you have mentioned is what interest me.
I just don't really want to hand load to get it.
In saying that I think I have a standard 270 barrel coming for my 2nd project so its probably a moot point now
What's the best factory loads, but I spose you only roll you own?
