.270 rum
I've been doing some research into making my .270 Win into a .270 RUM (.300 RUM necked down) and so far I've talked to about 8 smiths and about half of those think it's possible. So I'll probably just buy a reamer and my local smith and I can tinker with it until it works...
Right now I'm running a 26" 1/10 Krieger so I'll stick with 150gr VLD's, hopefully push them around 3400-3600fps. But, since I will have the reamer, a 30" fast twist .270 may come one day too! Stay tuned, should be a fun project!! |
The 270-RUM would be cool. How many smiths have told you the 270-RUM would be too much "over-bore"?
How much velocty do you expect to gain over the 270-Weatherby? Keep us posted on your progress. |

Well, my 300RUM's lasted on average 1000 shots before heat cracks in the neck, 270???

RIbadazzz, I'm not going the AM route. I already talked with Kirby, he's waaay to busy plus doesn't want to convert my Sako to a magnum bolt face.
BC, I'm not worried about barrel life...gotta give up something to gain something ;) |
Well, without going downstairs to check book specs, I was wondering about opening up the bolt face... guess so...

.277s never made much sense to me
