Bob,

Yeah, I have noticed the same thing about the .270 in a number of lightweight rifles. Have long suspected it's because there's more steel around a .27-caliber hole than a .30-caliber hole, in the same contour barrel, in light barrels enough to make a difference.

Have kinda wondered how a .243 Featherweight would shoot, but haven't been intrigued enough to pay for one and find out!
