It’s kinda funny, I have a 270 Win Superlite I don’t do beans with. A 6.5 barrel screwed onto it would be most useful. You got the gears grinding.



Tikka 5 round mags were only $60 direct from Beretta, with a 3.1" coal using 140 gr Berger Hybrids and Hornady 143 gr ELD-X bullets at 3100 fps, there is still enough room and bullet meplats don't get battered and deformed .... can shoot all 5 rounds without concern of bc change & accuracy issues from tips getting progressively bashed after every shot

Here's the chamber dims I drew up in Quick Design, reamer reflects same numbers ....
