Re: Looking for .270 Win Tac LR setup example inside
"Though the .308 is without a doubt a perfectly good cartridge, few realize that there are other cartridges that go equally well or even better with Remington’s M700 action.
One of these is the ubiquitous .270Win, especially with the right 130-grain bullet. In conjunction with a properly developed load, the .270Win and M700 go together so well that they produce one of the best tactical precision combinations ever conceived." Special Weapons Magazine: Sniper Pro
I hear the critics all the time. The .308 is a heavier bullet.... bravo bravo...and the .270 is much faster and the .270 had better ballistics as far as bullet drop and wind drift when put under the same conditions as the .308. Bottom line, I have ALOT of .270 ammo. If was to move up in size it would be the .338 Lapua not the .308.
The only reason the military adopted the .308 over the .270 was the fact the .270 was a long action. The short action allows someone to carry more rounds and get off the rounds at slightly higher ROF.
SAVAGE 110BA RIFLE, 338 LAPUA, 26" is probably what I will be getting if I don't have any luck with the custom .270 search.
