    @veitnamcam I'm sure I've heard him talk about and use a .270 cut down; usually for sika. I remember I was really surprised. But hey; I could be wrong! I often am haha

    He could have changed his mind and needed a new cal to market as the ultimate bush pig.

    Greg has been using a bushpigged 270 for a couple of years. Last time I saw him he spoke to me about it. In a short barrel for the ranges they were using it for, with factory ammo, it outperformed both the 708 and 308. Almost went that route but stuck with the 308 as I wasn't brave enough haha

    Its a .270 - has been for a while. Often referred to. I expect it is to do with being able to display Federal factory ammo on the series. Shorter barrel .270 is a good choice though.

    270 or two-seventy. Why can't people just say that?
