TRBL I reload that round and so it was convenient and also I wanted something I could hunt with. Not a long range hunter but I'd like to try a .270 (that would be an AR-10 I guess) also if I can find a barrel and bolt. I'm thinkin I might make a couple, they're fun to build.

Suz, that looks good! I'll be waiting on that shooting report.
The AR-10 was designed for a .308 Win length cartridge so a .270 Win won't fit. Maybe a .270 WSM?

I personally like the AR10 7mm08 option. I am thinking I may build one of them for deer hunting and just shootin for the fun of it. You could also use it for yotes and such.

I remember a extremely expensive variant of the ar in a long action but cant find it on a quick search I'll get back to you. The 7mm-08 would be a near ballistic twin in readily available components though.

7mm08 sounds like a good one to me. Ok I'll need some donations to get me started. Saturday I got my credit card bill for a rifle re-barrel (that I sent back) and various AR-15 parts including barrel and bolt, carrier and all the expensive crap, then I also got my health care statement. Had to transfer money from savings to cover it. Got it paid tho, that was about a grand. So I think I'll sell my drift boat next. Wonder if anyone's in the mood for a drift boat in the winter. Not in the mood to spend any more money right now. I should do this for a sideline, make some uppers for people and some spending money for me. I saw a place where you could buy 10 barrels for $1000US, wonder which direction they shoot.
I just read up on the 7mm08 and it should do the trick, I was just trying to stay with the rounds I reload to keep my inventory down. Oh it's probably years down the road but I think I'd like to make one, it sounds like a great caliber.

Had to get my flashlight out, I don't have a flash on my camera
and it's a bit hard to see without some contrast.
I swear the things I have to do sometimes, sorry it's not clearer.
The company has since made a name change to PCF
they say because of interest in LE and military sales, they
thought Plum Crazy on the side might not be the best idea.
I love that cartoon
I can make smile too
