Yes it is.

A 270 the flatest one, shooting with a 130 gr Bullet imr 4831. It has plenty of take down energy and leaves a big wound channel.

Thanks for the info on that, brother. I didn't know that.

I have seen deer stand there. Even after someone shot more than once. I shot a couple 308 rounds one day_tha t was loaded down for a suppressor. I had to raise my rifle site 5" above target just to hit the target. The deer won't run if you hit them with the first shot. No way will I trade...

Being 76, I use an UTV, but I am considering an electric scooter, that I have seen in Bestbuy. The wheels look too small for me though. I'm a predator hunter and thought the electric scooter would be good.

Sounds interesting but if the round is accurate is all need. I have seen animsls hit in the vitals and keep going. To me BC means nothing. It's just a number to me. I hunt , not just try to shoot a animal off the other mountain. A few can do it, but most cannot.

The smart way. 👌 .

I never modify the die. I will modify the shell holder though. I took a couple 10,000" off one for a 308. Now if you can see in the chamber and it's rough, that deserves polishing. I used crocus cloth on a stick, or and cleaning rod to polish that up.

All problems can be resolved. A 270 doesn't need to have a hot load! One of your problems. Primers go in easy = throw away the brass. Never mind annealing until you correct your process an problems. Dirty brass ? Not that important. Annealing not important. 6 or 7 firings max for that brass...

Usually the neck mouth has a tiny burr from trimming it. You can barely feel it. A piece if steel wool to clean it then try it, or better yet; use a cartridge checker. If it goes in easy it will chamber too. Know your headspace.

I think you would do better with a 165-168 SST. That's what I would use. I wasted my time with the 150 gr until I realized a 308 loves a165-168 gr. With varget. Not hot loads either. More accurate at long range too. Don't try to compare the 308 an 3006. You can't make better calibers though...

Same here after having done the making of bullets back in the 80s and cleaning out the lead. I stick to jacketed bullets now.

I got a custom 270 with a Douglas barrel. It don't care about other calibers; just does its job, big hole , big hole out. 130 gr Nosler goes completely through a hog; from front shoulder, and out the rear quarter. 250 yds. DRT

Looks like you got the right recipe.
