Explain this: 270 wins the poll

A different mouse trap not necessarily better.

I’m just only making reference to the concept that it’s a cartridge designed to be effective from a short barrel and the .270 is stir good and still run around the original specs
The cartridge design and recommended twist rate etc are optimised to get the most from the cartridge. It runs higher pressure and is offered in a suitable twist rate for the projectile weight range.

I’m not on the Creedmoor bandwagon either but it does make the most of what they learned about ballistics optimising the rate of twist to a purpose designed cartridge for long range use getting better downrange drop and drift characteristics than cartridges that that pre-date it

Damn I'm good.

Lots less bearing surface on Spitzers or semi-Spitzers.

If they'd have made 270W with a 8 or even 9 twist originally, I'd probably consider them to be something worth owning rather than as useless as teats on a frog. A 170 gr Spitzer in .277 would be quite something, right up there with 175 gr in .284. Which I consider the most perfect small and medium game bullet ever invented, with a close 2nd place to 155-160 gr 6.5 pills.

Were it possible, I hate 270 more than @Bob Nelson 35Whelen hates 243.

@sgt_zim
Is that possible.
I don't like the 270 either. All noise and not much use in my book.
It ain't doing nothing a good/ fast 25 will do.
