[QUOTE="LVJ76, post: 2586996, member: 108965"] I don't see how this would be a bad idea, at all. I'm a 7mm-08 lover and I own several of them and always liked the 270 Win as well. Putting them together seems like a heck if an idea. [USER=95344]@xsn10s[/USER] idea of improving the case is even better. If you want to shoot 140gr to 150gr bullets, a short action would work. but for the heavies I am not sure. My small experience with the VLD type bullets is that they like to be close to the lands. In my short action 7mm-08 the 168gr VLDH did not shoot well at all, but the Hybrids shoot great. Both the 168gr and 180gr VLDH shoot great out of my 7mm Rem Mag, and they both sit just 0.02" off the lands. [USER=14204]@FEENIX[/USER] is way more familiar with Bergers and he can provably share more experience with these bullets if that's what you are going for in a short action. The AMax has not cared for that, at standard COAL lenghts they shoot great. Same goes for the SST bullets. That said, I'd go for it, just make sure you know what you want to shoot out of it so you get the right components for the build. Just my $0.02 Luis [/QUOTE]
