The 270 pinpoint is an interesting bullet the northern precision I know that you've noticed it has a little driving band at the base when I first looked at the bullet and saw the sidewall contact at the I thought it was not going to shoot every barrel that I have been able to size the bullet with enough tension to shoot it has been phenomenal the reason I say that is I had a couple of button rifle barrels that the diameter of the bore would not allow me to size the board wasn't tight enough and that bullet if you measure it is more around 451 something rather than 452 and another thing I would mention I know when they did the bullet test it didn't perform real well it wasn't bonded the bullet that they tested he can bond that one and he has an untipped version of it that's just close to it looks more like the fury 401 240 OT I highly recommend that version if that short tip scares you away try the bonded open tip version of that bullet
