My wife shoots a switch barrel savage in .243/.308 I put together for her. I shoot a .270 and now she wants something different in a .27 cal. and wants to stay with her rifle platform. A bit of searching turned me on to the .270-08. Would it be possible to take a 6.8 SPC barrel and ream it out to fit a .308 length cartridge? How about cutting and setting back a .270 Win. barrel then chambering? Would one way be better than the other. Is it even possible? Or should I just start from scratch? Oh and I do understand a 7mm-08 or .260 would be easier and cheaper but that's not what she wants.
