    Anybody here own a 270 win with a 20" barrel ??


    Anybody here own a 270 win with a 20" barrel ??

    Just curious as I would like to chop mine 2" to make it a bit handier
    in a truck.

    Can still get 3600 FPS with a 95 gr TTSX with it a 20" barrel.

    Hey tammons I don't know what powder you are using, but I have had great success with that bullet and also 90gr sierra hp, with these loads reaching almost 3700 plus in a 22 inch barrel so minus 100 fps approx 2 inch shorter you should be close.
    56gr varget
    54gr 4895
    60gr rl17
    RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

    Use the fastest powder that works for you. The muzzle blast and FLASH from a 270 with a 20 barrel will be significant.

    I did not get brass flow until I hit 63 gr of RL17.
    62 was fine and I did not even test 62.5 but it might be too hot for warmer weather.
    3550-3575 would still be enough for total pig devistation with that bullet.

    My last few that I loaded were 61.5 at 3.3"

    I have not chronoed my rifle yet.

    Want to see muzzle flash shoot some full tilt 460 magnum loads in a 4" barreled gun or a 21" barreled 458 WM.
    Had both. Love the fire flash out of that 460.
