    Greetings Phil, Bliss Titus beat you to it by 50 years or more. The .270 Titus Savage is slightly shorter and has a 28 rather than 30 degree shoulder. It was brought out as a wildcat for the Savage...

    Greetings All, Must get those sub sonic loads sorted for my suppressed .308. We live in the country so no problem with poking a hole in the neighbors house. Might be some successful hunts left in me...

    Greetings All, The curmudgeon here. The 6.8 Western or the .270 Winchester slightly shorter magnum as I will call it will give little more than a standard .270 Win with a fast twist barrel. Speer...

    Greetings Micky, Commiserations on the damage to your rifle. Hopefully it can be restored to health. I wouldn't blame your mate too much as it could have been H1000 but had deteriorated in storage....

    Greetings Ftx325, Not generally thought to be a good idea on factory chambers. Makes a loose neck fit even looser. Only called for if the rifle has a tight neck chamber. These are cut that way by...
