[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1115786, member: 14204"] Scratch the itch and go for it, it's really that simple ... I had a similar situation a few years ago. I purchased a Savage 110 LA in .270 Win for the action, but it was quite the shooter so I hunted with it for a couple of seasons. When I finally decided to re-barrel, I was highly considering the .284 and .280/AI. I went with .270 AI (in honor of the legendary Jack O'Connor :D) instead with 1:8" 30" Lilja barrel primarily to propel the Matrix 165/175 VLDs (shoots lighter bullets just fine). With the Nosler 150 LRAB, Matrix 165/175 VLDs, and the upcoming Berger 170, the .277 caliber is changing into a O'Connor-Elmer combination. :cool:gun) My current accuracy load for my .270 AI using the 175 Matrix is chronoed at 2993 FPS and performing similarly with factory 7MM Mag level with 180 factory ammo. Very pleased with my decision and couldn't be any happier. Good luck and keep us posted. Happy safe shooting/hunting. Ed [/QUOTE]
