    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : 6.5 v 7mm
    Greetings Micky Duck, There is a sound reason why there are not many .270AI rifles around. Both factory and hand load data is pretty stout and there is not much to be gained. Converting any of the...

    Greetings 6x47, Thanks for that. I have a bit of testing to do and the back up plan is my Tikka T3 with 69 grain HPBT. I will try and get out for the next 300 yard shoot and will let you know prior....

    RUMPY liked post by grandpamac On thread : 6.5 v 7mm
