Welcome to the asylum, Aaron.
If I hadn't gotten into .30-06 so early in the game I'd probably have changed my name to Jack O'Connor years ago. I can't justify a .270 when I have two good .30-06's (and all the loading acoutrements) but I'll always wish I had one or maybe a dozen. Just because the .30-06 does everyhing I need it to do doesn't mean the .270 can't do it a little bit better.
My question is why are you re-barreling? Is there a problem with the barrel now on the rifle or is this a project that starts with a barreled action?
