They do expand down to lowish velocitys but yes work best going as fast as possible to transfer some shock....its a pig..for the bush or take one of the other two?

The T3 270 only has a 22" barrel anyway (I think) which is too short for the calibre so you may as well chop it.

I'm starting to think this could be fun... have just been reading some American forums and a bloke cut a 270 to 16" and was getting 2780fps from a 130gr sst being pushed by H450 (2209). As has already been pointed out I reckon some 2208 could improve on that. A 150gr LRAB being launched at 2600 would hold 1000 ft lbs to 650 yards... hmmmmm

H450 is more equivalent to 2213 in the 270. It replicated my 2213 loads but gave a bit more oomph.
I've got some here that I will never use. You can have it if there is some way of you getting it. About half a can.

V100 in a shorter barrel might be the go too.

I wonder if I should do that to my finlite? But not know what it would be like threading on the fluted barrel.

You could measure the flutes with a caliper and a couple of ball bearings or steel shot and subtract the ball diameters and bore diameter then divide by two to get your wall thickness at different parts of the barrel to see if it is feasible.

Asuming your finn is a 270, maybe wait untill I have a chance to hack up this T3 before you go wrecking a perfectly good Sako

My idea of a pig is something that is short and handy and has close range smack over but can still stretch to 2-300 if required. The old 308 can be loaded in basically any weight pill so you can have various loads depending on the quarry. I havnt shot enough stags in the roar to take a chance on a pissy little slug maybe doing the damage :D

OK that sounds great someone has to be a lab rat and give it a go, my Finn still shoots sub MOA even with 2500k-3000k of fairly hot loads down the tube.

I've got a Sako 270 that is collecting dust and want to rebarrel to a 16" .284. I like short barrelled rifles now after using my 12" 300 blackout. It's smoked over 57 deer now, head shot a deer 251m with Subs and 300m max distance on deer so far with 125gr BT supers.

I would be happy with any 16" or less bush pig from 308, 7mm-08, 284.

Here's my pig

@Ryan_Songhurst what happened to the momentum on this project? Did you go with that 270 after all?
I've got an itchy wallet finger and need to sort out a bush basher too...:)

T3 270 off getting top secret modifications as we speak...

Sweet. Think I'm going to go along the lines for carving up a 260 of some sorts.

And guncity currently have a big box sitting in the floor in front of their reloading supplies full of all sorts of old boxes of projectiles, had a bit of a dig through it yesterday and came away with some goodies so pretty hopefully on getting something to work

Old thread resurrection, would love to see how this turned out.

Can someone post any links to this 270 load development or in action?

Haven't done anything with it mate. Got a T3 270 sent away to be chopped up then decided to spend my money on something entirely different and haven't been back to it
