[QUOTE="choprzrul, post: 2774855, member: 121411"] Just wanting to get opinions on whether this could be done relatively easily. Mainly for increased case volume and better quality brass being made in 300 WSM that can be necked down....along with 270 WSM barrels are 1:10" twist and won't stabilize a 126gr Hammer Hunter and most Hammers heavier than that. Will it end up with a Weatherby type of jump to the rifling? Or, as the 270 WSM reamer moves the shoulder further out, I suppose the case mouth will get closer to where the 6.8 Western reamer already has the lead?? Rifle I'm looking at is the [URL='https://www.browning.com/products/firearms/rifles/x-bolt/x-bolt-pro.html']Browning X-Bolt Pro in 6.8 Western[/URL] with the 1:7.5" twist barrel. [B]6.8 Western drawing:[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]447950[/ATTACH] [B]270 WSM drawing:[/B] [ATTACH type="full"]447951[/ATTACH] I'm no machinist....does any of this make sense?? [/QUOTE]
