[QUOTE="Wild Monkey, post: 2076404, member: 103097"] My idea was to take a 7mm Rem Mag Barrel and Chamber it for 7mm Ackley Weatherby Magnum Brass. Enhancing the better twist rate from the 7RM barrel. I was going to buy 270 Wby Ammo and fire form it. Weatherby Brass is expensive but it much less than 308 Norma and easier to find. You could easily do this with 270 bore, but IMO your twist rate is too slow unless you get new barrel. In the End I just decided to keep the 7RM chamber as is because I get the performance of the 280 Ackley Improved at a fraction of the Cost. IF I was looking at something more than the 270 WSM I'd lean towards the Nosler if you need the .277 bore. Basically the 270 Wby is an outstanding platform, but when you start adding costs to an already expensive Cartridge it's time to look elsewhere. [/QUOTE]
