Rem do this on purpo[/b] I've dealt with .5" freebore on my 7rum using 140 sierra pro hunter pills. The bullet was actually out of he case as it contacted the lands and it still did .3 moa at 100 yards for three shots and .9 moa for 5 as fast as you could aim and fire at 100 yards. The rifle was terribly finicky as to bullet, and I only found a couple of bullets it liked, the other being the 175 hornady interlock. When it liked what you were doing it was a very happy rifle though. As to your 270 freebore, both my tikka and my marlin in 270 win are rather short throated, and basically identical in throat dimensions. I load the 130 mrx (for my tikka) and 130 hornady mono (for my marlin) at 3.297" and 3.295" respectively and the 130 interbond on the lands to 3.345" for the tikka. [/QUOTE]
