Will a 8.5X63 clean up a 270 WCF chamber?
Anyone know if I can use a 8.5x63 Reb reamer to clean up a 270 chamber?

Always seems like their is a 270 Sauer 202 for sell for cheap, and I like killing off 270s.

I am guessing a 243 or 22-250 wouldn't be a problem?

Can't set back the barrel so this has to be pretty dead on.

Ammoguide says it will. So you going to rebore it?


As usual just my $.02

See if I can find a 2nd hand 270 Sauer 202 barrel or a whole 202 for a reasonable rate.

I might get a K95 barrel in 8.5x63R if I can find one.

We still have a k95 and 3 barrels. None are calibers I would want to get rid of.

If not maybe I can find a small caliber K95 barrel.

Yes, both the .270 Win as well as the 30/06 can be rebored to the 8.5x63 (R) cartridge.
