........It's a .270 + 400fps ......over the range most people should be shooting game........



A couple of observations:
1) Even Noslers own reloading data shows the .270 Win can get 2900+ FPS with 150 grain bullets.....yea, maybe factory loads get beaten by 400’/sec....maybe.
2) this new cartridge seems aimed at the crowd that fancies themselves “snipers” at game animals. Like any fad it will fade after awhile, hopefully sooner than later. (700-900 yard sniping is not an ethical way to “hunt” game in my opinion).

Agree--shooting animals at 8-900 yards or more is not what I consider hunting.. frankly really surprises me that Nosler come out with this.. the 28 Nosler, based on those I talk to is doing extremely well in both custom and factory built rifles.. the 27 will not match it ballistically.. so, ????

Don't really see it doing anything the 6.5PRC or others..

Long range shooting and competitions are going to be around for a while.. it's still a very large and continually growing sport.. classes are full .. products keep coming out..and more and more long distance ranges are becoming available..one in my area is now available to 2000+ Have to be honest, I do love shooting "steel" at long distance..




I would love to have a range handy where I could shoot to 1000mts hell even 500. I would love to be proficient again out to 600mts. However i don't think people will buy a 270 cal to do this when they already have the same case in 7mm, and all the 6.5's that are about. I am not bagging the 270 as I have a 270 win and 6.8SPC

If I didn't have a 270 and was getting one I would probably look at the Nosler just for something different.

Just changed the 100mts to 1000mts. Fat thumbs




I was wondering when I read that.. thought man, he must live right in town to not be able to shoot to 100 mts...

I find shooting long distance very interesting .. there are so many variables coming into play.. one of the greatest being wind.. the science of reading the wind, not just where your at but also where the target is.. 1000, 1400 or 1800 yards/mts down the lane..

And yes, agree with your comment.. IMHO, the 6.5's will outshine the 27 in the long distance arena.. for one, the 26 Nosler to start the show if you want to go by mere numbers.. personally becoming more and more of a fan of the 6.5PRC... for 800 and above it really takes over vs the CM... Even more so for longer distances is the 28 N--shooting heavy for caliber bullets 175 to 190 gr.. amazing long distance ballistics..
