Step up from 243 Win

[NRA4LIFE]

Keep it simple. A 1 in 8 or 1 in 9 twist .270 Win for the victory. Although the 6.8 Western is intriguing.

So why the 1:7.5 spec for SAAMI?

I’ll go with something out of the norm: 7-08, 7SAW, 280ai, or 7prc. Shooting the 162eldm or 180eldm.

After the 7’s, I think you are describing the perfect use case for a big 30 cal magnum. 300prc with 225eldm. 300wsm with 208 eldm.

If really trying to keep it tikka, 6.5prc, 7-08, or 7prc would be my picks.
