[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 2279223, member: 63925"] A 700LA has a max magazine COAL of 3.65 so you can seat heavy weights out quite a bit for the .270 Win as long as you set the free bore long enough to accommodate this COAL. which is what I did with 27", 0.290 free bore added, 1:8 twist, 5R light palma SS Remage barrel from Preferred Barrel. I set the free bore based upon my desire to shoot the 156 HH which was a commitment to a bullet I had not shot but felt extremely confident it would shoot great in the setup I chose. I sent Preferred Barrel 2 rounds with the 156HH to set the free bore based upon the COAL I sent them. It has worked out wonderfully and spawned the infamous .270 Thors Hammer that we all had fun with. This is not a hard deal to do and now you have a .270 that hold its own with 6.8 whatever with brass, dies and now better bullets that are reasonably available. As I keep tinkering with it, the accuracy keeps improving as I have gone sub 1/2 MOA with it. I don't doubt the 6.8 Western performance at all. I just like getting there with a standard cartridge that even JOC would be proud of today! [/QUOTE]
