Possibilities for Rechamber/Rebore
« on: May 06, 2005, 02:34:22 PM »
Ever since Mac"s post about finding a smith to do work on our handis its got me thinking i want to rebore/rechamber my 270 barrel. But i dont really know what i can change it to. I know all you guys will have alot of suggestions so start talkin. Maybe sumthing in 338 or 35 maybe even a 40. I'm not really sure. I know i dont want any wildcats, i just dont really have the time to mess with one right now or the funds. So start shooting me any suggestions that yall can think of any are appreciated.
