    Poo seventy Bush pig build How short can I go???

    Hi all So how short can I go with out starting forest fires?
    What have you done how does it go?
    what ammo would be best in a little gun like this (I have no experience with these little calibers)
    I feel maybe the 130gr factory ammo move fast burn fast don't waste so much powder??
    What say you learned people?

    Performance would have to be pretty close to a short 284 one would think.
    Be fairly hard on the suppresssor if really short.

    Yea am thinking that will try get suppressor with a steel baffle or muzzle break Haha.
    I feel like it is going to be a lot of fun to shoot at dusk more flash than a camera.
    Maybe like 18" barrel

    Don't the Duley's use a 270 as their bush gun? I'm sure I read Greg saying that when they weighed up all the calibres that the 270 was the best option. Probably counterintuitive to what we think as a bush cartridge; but he'd done the maths

    Why not go for a short 30/30 or .308 if you plan to chop it down, are you set on .270?

    Pretty sure it’s a .270 they’ve had on their latest episodes

    @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.

    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?

    Built a 16" 270 couple years back. Id still have it if I'd built it on a decent action, but I built it from a sauer 100 and it was the biggest pile of shit I've ever had the misfortune to come across. It performed pretty good though, 110gr prohunters @3100fps and 130gr bullets at 2700-2750 all using reloder 17

    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
