    Micky Duck liked post by grandpamac On thread : Changing a Remmington 700 from .270 to .308
    Greetings, I assume that the .270 is a bolt action so what about one of those neat little Bergara single shots in .308. Even new they are around the cost of a rebarrel plus they break down and go in...

    Greetings Blackfern and Micky Duck, That is pretty good advice from Micky, especially for a bush rifle. For some handloaders the journey of developing a load is just as (or more) important as the...

    Greetings, The two rounds have different magazine lengths so you could possibly run into feeding problems with the .308. It would be better to sell the .270 and buy a .308 or convert the .270 to...
