[QUOTE="dxlbaile, post: 1962737, member: 91579"] First rifle I got at 17 was a Ruger M-77. 270 shot the barrel out after 10 years and it sat in the safe. Decided to bring it back to life this year. I took the old Barrel off and sent the action up to Mcgowen to have a 1:8 twist barrel put on with the 170 Berger in mind. I wanted to be able to shoot everything including elk with no reserve. After 30 rounds of break in it is hammering. Reg reamer with no freebore. Win brass, fed 210 primer, mag pro hunter powder 60.5 gr. .015 off the lands. 2900FPS. The ole girl is back to life. My only regret is not doing my homework a little better to get some freebore. It is seated pretty deep but, it shoots. No need to get all new components and make a 280 AI. Just get some 170 Bergers and light it up😉.
