[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 148878, member: 3733"] parlaan, Going from a 270 to a 308 or 30-06 is actually pretty simple. Those three cartiges all share the same rim diameter, .473". A smith would remove the 270 barrel, and then thread and fit a new barrel, chambering it to the cartrige you desire. Basically no other alterations would be required as long as the new cartriges fed out of the magazine properly. The .473" bolt face is sharred by many cartriges here are a few; 22-250 243 260 7-08 308 338 federal 358 win. 6mm rem 257 roberts 7x57 6.5-284 284 25-06 270 280 30-06 338-06 35 whelen. [/QUOTE]
