    What would you recommend as a bullet that is easily obtainable for such loading? I'm aware of the mess my .257 Wby mag makes at 100 yards with an Accubond and the devastation at 150 yards with a Scirocco.

    Any of the premium bullet like Barnes, Swift A-Frame, even Nosler.
    Stay away from the regular lead cup&core bullets as these would no doubt act like grenades at those velocities.
    The Accubond and Scirocco bullets are the next step up from lead cup& core bullets.

    " therefore bench time is important." most definitely, therefore you have to develop a routine at the bench, take your time , not as I have seen too many times where guys will quickly shoot off 10 or more rounds and then complain about the pounding and a sore shoulder and develop a flinch.

    Thank You Jaycee for posting it-interesting development.
    To many choices,not enough need,time and money...........but for the new shooter,this is clearly an option.

    Hovewer,this thing will be tricky to shoot at close range for hunting, even with some high end bullets,mentioned above.
    Swift-A frame may shoot thru a deer as a solid bullet and leave a small hole,no blood=potentially resulting a lost animal.
    The Nosler-hmm ,this is my experience:the lead core separated from the copper cup hitting a bear at 60 yards.The 180 gr bullet almost fell completely apart,fired from 30-06.Not truly fastest /hardest caliber.
    Definitely a careful consideration is needed for proper bullet selection vs game vs distance vs where to actually aim ,with the bullet at hand....so to say.

    Cheers

    I spent a lot of money to finally realize that alI I need is a .308, .30-06 and 7mm Mag. Sold all other calibers, and don’t care with what they come out with anymore.

    May be a Barnes only type cartridge, or just shoot things at long range.

    Why doesn't nosler make cartridges from 17 all the way up to .700

    What will this 27 nosler do that a 26 nosler or 28 nosler cant do?

    Myself I'd be sticking with .270win, If I want a to step it up, 7mm mag would do it.

    Not any faster than a 150g 300wm, they work quite well at close and long range with any premium round..

    For those answers, you will have to ask the Nosler folks, asking them here will get you a Miriad of reasons.

    A solution for a problem that no one has. Fine tuning of an existing calibre, but for the 100 Fps gain what problems are they introducing.
    Take the warning labels off. Darwin will solve the problem.

    At 400 yards, the diff. between a standard .270 and the Nosler is 378 fps. in velocity, to some this may be an advantage especially those that would take that caliber and hunt mountainous areas , where shooting across a valley is the norm in a lot of cases [elk , sheep in B.C. , Alaska, Yukon.]
    This caliber may not be for every .270 fan, but there will always be those that think it would be what they need for their type of hunt.

    I would think that the people at Nosler would look at World Wide Hunters that hunt vast open or mountainous areas, not just us here in Ontario with our usually less than 100 yard shots.
