Pre-64 270 rebarreled in 1979 with 24" hart 1 in 12"
I kept the original stock and shot 250gr horns,speers,and noslers for yrs guiding and hunting. I have loys of room to shoot here and while fireforming a pile of Norma from 338's I realized it shot about as flat as my 300. I was using sierra's for fireforming then switched to barnes for hunting and they shot great as well. Then I weighed it and found out it was 12lbs so I had it restocked with a MPI mannlicher. They barrel was cut to 20" and the lose in velocity was about 100fps but it ended up weighing about 8 1/2lbs which is lite for a powerhouse. Then a hunter sent me some 280 Swifts and I found out to all practical ranges they shot flat enough and usually penetrated comepletely on moose and bears even at longer ranges when that was necessary. Easy to load for with 4895 and brass a cinch to make.
