Thanks guys, not ready to change the new FN Featherweight 270, but it's a possibility. Will start my search for a used Rem or Win 270 and give this a try. Have become a huge fan of the 6.5x55 - I have that in a Tikka T3 and can't find anything it doesn't shoot well and if I want I can stay at the range all day and not come home with a bruised shoulder. It's worked very well on several deer now too!
