My 270/308 27-08.

[K.E.C. Darkside]

Howdy All, I believe I mentioned that I was going to build a 270-308.
Well after 10 months of all the fun we go through building a Wildcat, I picked it up today.
I used a Savage 110 lite weight Action.
I ordered a Shaw 24" 8.5twt barrel.
Birddog69 was there and helped me, great guy.
My gunsmith said he could rework the accutrigger, he did a great job 1lb.
Trued the action and bolt, however you do that to a Savage. For now I am going to use the factory stock and after l season the barrel, I will know what I need to upgrade. It only weights 6.4lbs. Without a scope, I'm hoping to start seasoning the barrel (and gun) this weekend. I'm going to start with 130 Sierra, need to fire form brass. I will try and keep you all up to date.
Thanks.

Nice! Would you be able to shoot the normal pressure 277 sig fury ammo in that? I think it is basically a 27-08 but has the hybrid case for high pressure loads

No. The 277 fury has a 30 degree shoulder that is further forward than anything else in the 308 family. Holds more powder and won't chamber in a 7-08, 308 or 338 fed.

What contour is your barrel? What brake?

Shaw #2 and it's a Ty 4 muzzle brake.
