[QUOTE="herr1911, post: 488198, member: 26606"] Have an opportunity to help a buddy put a gun together, but his needs and wants pull him in different directions for caliber. I suggested that we use a savage action for a switch barrel setup in .300 WM and ??? He wants the primary cartridge to be a bit cheaper and easier on the shoulder. I initially thought .270, but wanted to get some input here. Don't the WM and the .270 have similar trajectories? If I start with a WM rifle, can the .270 cycle from the mag well? Have to swap followers? Planned to buy the barrel for the smaller caliber as it will likely see more use, and might go with something a bit heavier than standard. The .300 would just be for an occasional elk trip. The rest of the shooting will be everything from varmint's to MO whitetail. Thoughts? Thanks [/QUOTE]
