As MD said,a little bit at a time.Bloody hard to add on.

If it wasnt for Sophie the dog i would not bother with a can . But she doesnt like rifles without one so it will get one . I was more worried about how much to take off as shortening some calibers can really suck the life out of them . I have had rifles cut down to 20 with no real great loss in performance but both of these were handloaded so that redressed the performance some what . This one how ever will be just using factory for the time being . thanks for the input so far guys really helpful

This whole discussion, simply proves the superiority of the .308.

My 270 is 20” still pushes factory 145 eldx at 2850, plenty of guts out past 500 still, and a nice length

shortened mine to 22. Running a GW suppressor.

It's hard to find a .270 that runs at full power nowadays. Used to be a great cartridge.

It used to be then they came up with the 280
