Regular 1-10" twist, does this generate "new dimensions" in .270 Win performance akin to the old Matrix??

Hi Ricardo, I talked about the 7mm 168gr ABLR in Cartridges, second edition. Should be enough photos etc for you to determine outcomes.

I don’t know if you got a reply from anyone but the answer is no. .. according to Nosler. They are recommending an 8.5 to 1 twist.
As it happens, I have some of these lovely bullets and re barreling a .264 Win Mag to a .270 Weatherby with an 8 to 1 twist.
I also have a Mannlicher Schoenauer .270 with a 9 to 1 twist. I’ll load some just to see how well 9 to 1 works.

I’ll post my results.

btw, the G1 BC is .620, the G7 is .312. Not sure of SD but should be just over .300. Nice looking, graceful bullet and it’s right in a sweet spot of weight and BC
