[QUOTE="Aussie Hunter Steve, post: 691737, member: 53311"] Of course you can have your barrel bored out to .30 cal and the .30-06 is the logical choice. Your rifle would end up a little lighter over-all. But... will you be happy with the .30-06 cartridge after becoming so familiar with the magnificent .270 performance? I made the mistake in my younger days of adding a .30-06 in the belief I was "stepping up". It was just the start of a journey in looking for a cartridge that out-performed the .270. The .30-06 didn't do that. Sure, the bigger magnums I tried blew bigger holes in game, and I still own and use a number of them, they are deadly! But the .270 properly placed is also a brilliant killer. And with it's light recoil it is the easiset big game cartridge to place shots where they do the most good. [/QUOTE]
