Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Rebarreling and Rechambering a long action

For a long range, flat shooting, deer killing, reasonable recoil, M700 long action rifle, the .270 Win is very hard to beat. I have one and it is my favorite deer rifle. It puts 130 gr. ballistic tips in tiny little groups and through both shoulders of mulies at 400 yards. Mine has a really long throat, and I can load about .2" longer than SAAMI and still fit in the magazine. 130 gr. handloads running 3150 fps show no pressure signs and brass life is very good.

6mm-06 8 twist barrel.

For Texas sized deer and pigs, it would be hard to beat. Run 105gr. Amax bullets and you'll be in high heaven.

Don't forget 6-06 which has more capacity & cheaper brass than the .240 Weatherby.

You should listen to these guys!!!! ^^^^^^^^
