[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 691510, member: 2011"] Did the first serious shooting, drop, velocity, bc validation yesterday since rebarreling the 270 AM. Previous barrel was 30" and heavier contour. New barrel is 28" and smaller @ the muzzle. Same brake is used as on old barrel. The rig, all up, is at 14 pounds previous weight was a bit over 15 pounds. Accuracy and velocity are same as the old barrel. The big difference is that I cannot now spot myshot as well, in field shooting conditions. Just a bit too much recoil jump. I used to be able to spot all shots at all distances. That is valuable to me as I mostly hunt alone. Removing that amount of front end weight seems to have made a difference. I think I'll move from the Holland QD to an Allen Painkiller for a try. [/QUOTE]
