Hello fellow members!
I have a Tikka T3 lite chambered in 270win. I love the rifle but I also like to try something else.
I want to rebarrel the rifle and I would appreciate your input.
The rifle will be used for hunting under 600yds, min 140gr bullet, at least 2850 MV and I want to build it light so I'll go with a 22in barrel, max 23 in. I live in Canada so let's leave the wildcats aside it's so hard to get supplies up here.
I'm thinking 280ai Because I can get a fast twist rate and shoot 150gr or heavier. Another option is 6.5-284 but I believe 140-150 I kinda max for this cartridge.
