[QUOTE="Muddyboots, post: 1597822, member: 63925"] The simplest way to make the .270 LR is to faster twist, longer throat and longer barrel 26" minimum. You can stay with standard .270 brass which is easy to get anywhere and you can shoot heavier bullets higher BC with faster twist with benefit of longer barrel for better powder burn efficiency. I sometimes think we tend to reject a an old reliable caliber for new whiz bang but with minor tweaks can be just the ticket. This is not a rocket science change out so it is a very nice way to start into LR. You can get a quality barrel that fits this bill pretty much anywhere. Grab some RL-26 and 150+ grain bullets and you are well on the way for reaching out there a bit. Huh, I guess I just talked myself into that concept for an older Savage 110 .270 that I have in safe!
