[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1702893, member: 26227"] I am glad I was steered to this thread. I read most of the first 3 pages and several posts between page 4 and 40. I have learned that my idea was not so revolutionary. I like the 270 caliber. do not get me started on 6.5MM and 7MM bores. I will make his short, I do not like them. I like the 0.257" and 0.277" bores with heavy twist rates. I like the thought of a 270-264 Win Mag. Just a 0.013" expansion to the neck and it would be great for me. I would love to work with that parent case. I would use the cheaper of the two cases I am looking at. the 7MM Rem Mag is the same case; I have a huge pile of that useless cartridge case that I was going to turn into a bunch of 264 Win Mag when I was going to make a long range 264 Win Mag.. now I want a long range 270 made with the 7MM Rem/264 Win Mag Case. there seems to be some controversy as to which came first. Ironically the 7MM fans are dead wrong. the 264 win (1958) is the parent case for the 7MM Rem (1962). Now that I know that there is a 270-300 win mag: I think I will pioneer the 270-264 win mag or 270-7MM rem mag. I think a 1:8" twist, 26" #5 taper (.750" muzzle), on a model 70 or Sako A7 with a Chet Brown "pounder" sporter stock would be the perfect rig for me when I get to my new place up north. I reckon I am going to hear from the 7MM guys and the 6.5MM guys.. [/QUOTE]
