It does however leave me in a quandary as to what to do with the 270wsm barrel, even if I had a tikka or sako action to screw it into what's it gonna do the the 300 won't do better :o

spit out true 7mm projectiles..........

Loaded up confirmation rounds today....think I'll cut my losses and call it done :yaeh am not durnk:
Quite possibly the best group I've ever shot 3 rounds at 100y

time to go hunting :thumbsup:

Great persistence and Nice shooting. A good lesson of both trouble shooting and reloading!

At 2800 fps with the 178 you’ve done the full circle back to the .30-06 in a different platform and with a few inches less barrel length.

This rifle has sentimental value, if I was purely chasing velocity I would've left it at 24" this project was as much about accuracy as it was about making a lightweight rig that was nice to carry, not front heavy and more than enough smack down at 600y.
Pretty sure I've ticked all those boxes.
It's tested my patience and I came out on top. Thanks guys for all the suggestions and calculations and moral support.
Time to load some hunting ammo and then not think about it for a while :roll:

Productive morning in the lead shed, will confirm zero without the magnetospeed then quick annealing session a reload the fired cases. That should see me with enough hunting ammo for a while :cool:

2.75" 500y group shot this morning prone in the tussock shooting up hill into the sun with a light breeze..
Happy enough with that
