Tagging along. I recently picked up one of these in 270. I took it out this weekend to start the break in process with cheap ammo(Hornady Whitetail) before I pick up the dies and such. I didn't get far, the **** ammo was out of spec out of the box... only one in 5 would chamber. I didn't bring my caliper so I couldn't take measurements in the field, decided to play it safe and make sure there wasn't an issue with the gun. Got it home and measured the ammo and yup, out of spec. I have another box of Swift ammo I'm gonna try this weekend.
For the record, Hornady is paying to have the ammo shipped back to them and replacing it, so don't take my post as a complete downing on Hornady. I mean, it sucks, but they're making it right. I won't stop buying their stuff!
From what I've read on a few other sites, people have had good luck with the 308 and Creemoor versions. I can't imagine the 270 243 shooting too badly.
