Re: For the .270 whores
William, I'm as big a 270 fan as anyone. What twist rate does it take to stabilize a 165 and 175 grain bullet in a 270? I don't see any info on their website about it. I wouldn't mind playing with some!

Re: For the .270 whores
I have a hard time believing those BC numbers, the track record for Matrix is poor with regards to those kind of values.
The 190gr 7mm is supposed to have a BC pushing 0.8 but in reality it's just nipping over 0.7
Still really good, but WAY off base. I'm sure the 175gr VLD in 270 will have a notable increase in BC over the existing "king" that is the 150gr Berger though.

Chad, my guess would be some where aruond 1-7 to 1-9 but not having the length of the bullet it's going to be hard to figure it out. Just a guess at this point
1-7 would let you shoot a 1.64" long bullet
1-8 = 1.44"

Re: For the .270 whores
I talked to Matrix and he said that a 1:8 twist is more than enough for the 175's. He also said that some shooters were using 1:9 twist barrels for the 175's and getting very good results. Give him a call.

I called him if the VLD's were bonded and they arn't. Knew it was too good to be true.
