Here's some straight skinny.

270 Winchester - 27" Lilja bbl. Installed by Ray Montgomery of Grand Junction Co. Other than that she's a standard winnie.

When she had a 24" Douglas bbl (took 30 years to wear it out) standard loads were:

Sierra 130 boat tail - 3190 fps
Sierra 90gr - 3400 fps.

W/N-204 could get the 90 to 3600+ just couldn't get the N-204.

With the Lilja BBL:

130 sierra/135 Sierra/140Hornady/135 Lost River - 3200 fps. Could go to 3250+ but what's the sense.

90gr Sierra - 3700 fps.

BTW accuracy is in the 0.5MOA range. Gave the rifle to my son who will shoot his first Muley buck on October 15 at about 8:21 in the morning at a range of between 475 and 560 yds.

The difference between the winnie and the WSM is that this one is in-hand and shootin'
