Rechambering a .270Win

[270Shooter]

Man I would have a hard time doing that to a gun that my grandpa gave me. Not to mention you will have a short action cartridge on a long action receiver. Plus opening up the bolt face and mods to the stock and magazine will need to be done. It will be more expensive than buying a new rifle. This is just my opinion but I say keep the old 270 that way it is and if you are dead set on the 270wsm then buy a tikka or savage. If you are really needing a rifle for 400+ yard shooting I would consider a different round. Something with that will have bullets with higher b.c. Like the 6.5 mm's, big 7mm's, heavy .30 calibers, or even a .338.

ballisticly the .270WSM is very close to the 7mm magnum, and yes exactly bobcat, I need that extra difference the .270wsm has past 400 yards because most of my shots are past that.

I think the 270 WSM is a great cartridge, and if you're regularly taking shots beyond 400 yards, then it will definitely be worth having.

I shoot a 270wsm for deer. I use a 140gr. Nolser Accubond handload and this combo is very accurate and deadly. Only thing that I have a problem with is blood shot meat on shots at 250yds and under. Even behind the shoulder I still have blood shot meat. Either I will need to slow it down a little or change the bullet. Was thinking about the Nosler Partions in the 150gr. or even the 160gr. Not to change the subject, but wanted to let you know that the WSM speed over the standard  270win.
Far as converting your standard 270win. into a WSM, I would just save up your money and buy a WSM.

  look over the 270 Ackley Improved. No bolt face work, simple rechamber. Here is one link

700xcr,  I would try a Barnes bullet or a Nosler e-tip (both are 100% copper.)

Ive borowed my buddys .7mm RUM the last 2 seasons so I'm no stranger to the effect of fast, high ballistic coeficient bullets.

i don't hink the Ackley will make much of a difference compared to the .270 Win out of a 22inch barrel. I think I'll just look for a new gun. And just do you guys know, my grandpa was the one pushing for me to rechamber the rifle haha
