Thread: Poo seventy Bush pig build How short can I go???

Hi all So how short can I go with out starting forest fires?
What have you done how does it go?
what ammo would be best in a little gun like this (I have no experience with these little calibers)
I feel maybe the 130gr factory ammo move fast burn fast don't waste so much powder??
What say you learned people?

Performance would have to be pretty close to a short 284 one would think.
Be fairly hard on the suppresssor if really short.

Yea am thinking that will try get suppressor with a steel baffle or muzzle break Haha.
I feel like it is going to be a lot of fun to shoot at dusk more flash than a camera.
Maybe like 18" barrel

Don't the Duley's use a 270 as their bush gun? I'm sure I read Greg saying that when they weighed up all the calibres that the 270 was the best option. Probably counterintuitive to what we think as a bush cartridge; but he'd done the maths

284......he calls it fhe 284superpig.

Why not go for a short 30/30 or .308 if you plan to chop it down, are you set on .270?

Pretty sure it’s a .270 they’ve had on their latest episodes

@veitnamcam I'm sure I've heard him talk about and use a .270 cut down; usually for sika. I remember I was really surprised. But hey; I could be wrong! I often am haha

He could have changed his mind and needed a new cal to market as the ultimate bush pig.

Its a .270 - has been for a while. Often referred to. I expect it is to do with being able to display Federal factory ammo on the series. Shorter barrel .270 is a good choice though.

270 or two-seventy. Why can't people just say that?

Being .270 owner I just happen to have the Intel on hand.

18 inch barrel. Dpt magnum suppressor.
Factory 130 fusions at 2800 fps
145. Eldx* 2965fps. ( hand loads )

Built a 16" 270 couple years back. Id still have it if I'd built it on a decent action, but I built it from a sauer 100 and it was the biggest pile of shit I've ever had the misfortune to come across. It performed pretty good though, 110gr prohunters @3100fps and 130gr bullets at 2700-2750 all using reloder 17

Greg has been using a bushpigged 270 for a couple of years. Last time I saw him he spoke to me about it. In a short barrel for the ranges they were using it for, with factory ammo, it outperformed both the 708 and 308. Almost went that route but stuck with the 308 as I wasn't brave enough haha
