[QUOTE="Treeslug, post: 2015749, member: 115704"] Rifleman97: It is my opinion that 38 thousandths of an inch are not going to make all that much difference in the wound channel. A bullet choice will make up for more than that small diameter difference. The shortcomings you have documented of the .270 are all valid, in my humble opinion, as are your reasons for using a .30 caliber weapon. I have yet to try to shoot ANYTHING at much over 500 yards, yet, but the thought of long-range shooting is becoming more and more interesting the more I read on this forum. If I do build a new rifle, it will most likely be a .30 caliber. As fashionable as it has recently become, it will not be any of the 6.5mm calibers. I like exotic things. That leaves out the more than capable .30-06. That is all I have to offer at this time. [/QUOTE]
