Sorry to bring up an old thread, I'm looking into building a 270 WSM for long-ish range shooting/hunting off a Savage action. I realize the 270 is the least popular of these for long-range, but I've been using some .277 bullets made here in Canada that have been pretty awesome so far in my Browning X-Bolt sporter.
Anyways, does anyone have any idea what the max OAL you can seat a bullet out to with a DBM, SA based action, as well as one converted to AI mags? My current load for 165 Gr Matrix VLD's is set to my current mag's max, which is 2.920 OAL, and it's not quite in the lands, but shoots sub-MOA. There are also some 175 Gr VLD's the same company offers that I would like to try with a 1-9 twist barrel, and I imagine I would need/like to seat them out a bit further and have the barrel cut with a bit more freebore to gain a little room in the cartridge. Any input would be helpful! Trying to see if I'll need to go LA for my intentions, and maybe this is a newb-ish question, but which centerfeed magazine would be used with a WSM cartridge for either SA or LA.
Cheers,
TT
