[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1070683, member: 2736"] [b]Re: Left Handed and found a Rem. 700 in .270, what can I rebarrel it to without changing the ac[/b] You are welcome. One reason I recommended the 280 Rem or the AI version was because of the ease of using it in your rifle without any changes to the action. Next would be the bullet choices for the .284 and the ballistics of the 7mm bullets. As far as recoil, I did some calculations and based on the performance of the Assassin muzzle brake the tuned version would reduce the recoil of a 280 Rem from a healthy 22.9 ft/lbs of recoil, to 7.9 ft/lbs with a 130 grain bullet @ 3100 ft/sec, and 8.6 ft/lbs with a 140 grain bullet @ 3000 ft/sec. that would be a 65.3% reduction in recoil in a 7 pound rifle.(That is almost identical recoil to factory 22/250 loaded with a 55 grain bullets at 3700 ft/sec). Factory ammo is fairly easy to find and inexpensive. Set up properly, factory 280 ammo can be used in the AI version and fire formed if you reload. So recoil is not an issue if you use a good muzzle brake. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
