    I run a shortened 270wsm now. Tikka T3x 21” with a Z8i swaro on top. Kills everything and is my go to. However I only use factory load as I’m never at home and rather have shit loads of a known factory load sitting at home. This rifle shot the factory Hornady 145 precision hunter at 2810 fps. Ouch! No good.
    So now I run the 140gr federal premium hybrid hunter. BC of .518 and does 3070fps into 0.27”. Sold! However I’m now down to my last two packets of ammo and none on the horizon.
    So I’m building a 21” 300wsm with a fluted barrel, fluted bolt, carbon stock with a hardy magnum suppressor. Have seen this exact set up shoot the Norma 180gr with a BC of .615 into half an inch at 2900fps. Sold. More power than the 270wsm, ammo on tap and lighter.
    Same Z8i 3.5-28 BT on top. Just need to make sure I don’t put a bloody 270wsm round in my 300! Thank god the federal ammo is silver.
    Moa Hunter and dannyb like this.
