Thread: Ok so you can shorten a 270 what about

A 280 AI and the mighty 30-06 both these two would work as they have at least the same or similar capacity to the 270 . The 30-06 would give you full power 308 performance with at least 6 inches removed if you work on 30fps per inch of barrel and the 280ai would in theory end you up at 280/284 performance again with 30fps per inch of barrel removed .Assuming your starting with a 24 inch tube .Factory ammo is available for both along with a huge range of projectiles . Granted both like the 270 are long actions but used in a tikka it doesn't matter as the short cartridges like the 308 using that action are still the same . So why not these two? and you could even add the 25-06 just for fun .I think the 280ai might just be the perfect balance of power/and performance with out getting into magnum territory . What do you think ??
