Is it possible?

Most definitely its fantastic just slept on

I would only do the 175gr if I had a higher more better rifle so I could utilize longer barrels and twist and all that

I probably would run the 175s. I’m sure it would be pretty anemic but can be done.

Honestly, I think you’d better stick to factory ammo. Find something that groups good and use it for everything.

Yeah honestly thats what I plan on doing i wanna try some remington core lokts

You can shoot 65gr to 195gr if you have a 8twt barrel.
And yes the 308 is the parent cartridge for 243, 7-08, 260Rem, 338 federal just to name a few. I made a 270-08 out of the 308. Only your imagination limits you.

Retired.

Depending on your taste, building a rifle is not that expensive. You don’t have to have the most expensive components on the market.
Talk with a remear manufacturer ( Manson, JLG…) have a remear made and a Gunsmith.
Buta Bing- Buta boom. Your shooting something You designed.
Savage component Work and are Not very expensive.
I can help you.

Whats a 270 08? How did it perform?

A 270 caliber bullet, shooting out of a necked down 308win case. Up to 130gr bullet it’s just slightly slower than a270win. It’s a shame that Winchester hasn’t come out with it.

308winchester,
7-08 Remington,
270??? Win.???
260 REM.
243 Winchester
All of these are made out of the 308 win. Case.

With a 8twt barrel you can shoot bullets up to 170gr .

I can comfortably shoot 170 out of my 270-08 at just under
2800fps.

Are you following me?

Interesting. I am building a 270-08 off 700LA. Is yours a LA? Barrel length? Are you using 7-08 brass? Have you shot Hammers out of it?

Just curious.

The 27-08 is a great cartridge, very efficient and works very well. I designed this around the 133 Apex Afterburner. 2.950 Max. And yes I downsized 7-08
Lapua. Rl-17 will get me over 3000fps and I am running them at 3000.
125 Cutting Edge Maximus
95 TTSX and 110 Accubond.
Last year I did resize the 277 fury and working very well.
3 firings on the Lapua and still holding primers.
26” 8twt

Last week I started talking to JLG and will be making a reamer for a 270/308Ai 40*
The fury has 35* and will be designed around the fury case.
3.100 max with 170 EOL.

This will Easily compete with the 270 Win up to 130 gr bullets.
Short action.
Hope this helps.
