[QUOTE="Nimrod, post: 331425, member: 6327"] I just put together a rifle chambered in .270/08AI. It's on a Savage M10 action with a stainless 25" Douglas XX premium that really shoots! I too was fed up with the 7/08, I couldn't get my Remington to shoot and after flirting with the 6.5-.284 for a couple of years it's just too finicky to load for. The .270/08AI is something i have been wanting to do for years and I finally took the plunge, I'm really glad I did, my chronograph is down at the moment but I expect .270 Winchester performance with 10 grains less powder and it really shoots so far. I don't have too many rounds down the pipe yet but the fire forming load and the one hunting load I have tried so far (only one 5 shot group each) were both under .5" If it will maintain this level of accuracy I expect it will be my primary mid-range hunting rifle. You might give it a look if you don't mind the case forming chores. Bob [/QUOTE]
