^^^^ I was hoping someone that has one would tell me to either stick with the standard 270 because the short mag doesn't make a huge difference, OR to go with the short mag because it makes all the difference. I've read that they burn barrels, is this true?!? Or is it something I'd only notice if I put thousands of rounds through it?

I dont know why or what it is, but there seems to be something kind if appealing about the short mag! This appeal is generally where I put my blinders on and don't look at everything objectively. This is where I need you guys to give me info and point me in A direction!!!
