Roper, what actions have you used for these?
??How long are the barrels and what do you scope them with.....??In all my .30's I used a 1-10 twist...never considered anything else....Use these for long range deer hunting?
Wyo.CH alot goes into selection of a barrel IMHO and should be what you want not what someone else think it should be. As to answering your questions some internet experts want to get into a contest on how much they know base on their experience and your has been with 1/10 twist barrel. If your interested there alot of sites to explain barrel twist,barrel length,bore/goove dia,rifling etc.
Here is a post

Roper
I am asking direct questions, I don't fish for anything but fish. Everyone who frequents this forum knows that.
As far as twist goes, why go there? I was asking about the 140gr & your velocity. Yes, twist, chamber, type of rifling, etc etc. can & does matter. Never asked about that, but if you want to tell us the whole scoop, that's cool with me.
You seem to be on the defensive when I am only asking you 2 basic questions. I never doubted the vel. you were getting, only interested in what you are using to get there, no one I know would have a problem with answering that, what's the problem?
I would still like to know
1. which powder ? (giving charge weight not desired)
2. what barrel length?
I know you asked direct question and I'm not being defensive in that I'm having a hard time answer because it doesn't relate to the whole reason for the velocity gain. Since you claim in your own words "Yes, I am aware of those advantages & have seen these vel. increases in a custom rifle a time or 2 myself." I listed this in my words "The advantage to building is I get to pick how I want it done from bore/groove dia,twist,how many grooves,type rifling,barrel length,chamber and throating"
This is what you want to know in your own words
"1. What powder did you use? (not the charge wt.)
2. Length of barrel?
If a factory rifle of comparable barrel length can get within 100 fps it will be a nice load if accurate"
Your thinking that my barrel will be comparable to a factory 270 if it's the same lenght that what your after plain and simple.
Again this may be hard for you to understand I don't look at the same reason for velocity gains as you do and your only picking things you consider important and again if you build your rifles based on that then answer your own question. I'm not going into details on my barrel since you don't consider that important. I sure like to see a list from you on what you consider advantages in building a custom rifle and what barrels did you use for your 270?
Wyo Coyote Hunter, this is what happens and I made a mistake in listing velocity.
