    I second the. 270, maybe spend on reloading gear instead? Then you can load some 85-90gns at about 3500fps.

    But if you're looking for an excuse for a new bangstik then my calibres in order of preference would be. 204, .220, .222, 6x47L, .223.
    Obviously 204 and 223 are most likely to have widest range of factory ammo available locally, being more common.

    If you were getting a. 223 you dont need the :8 twist to stabilse the 50-60gn. The fast twist is for the 70-90grainers.
    And I find the 62/63gn shoot well in almost every rifle but not sure about factory offerings in those weights.
