Nice, I have a 270/300WM with a PacNor 28" Sendero contour 1:8. Ballistics are great and it doesn't kick the crap out of you. Nice in a hunting rifle. I'm at 3200+with 170's, my hunting load for deer is a 150TBBT@3320. 130TSX@3515. Winchester missed the boat. Try some RL33.
One of my old hunting buddies called yesterday, He's 93 has one arm and told me he has gotten good enough that he can take 4 small steps with his walker. He called to make sure I got him put in the elk draw, He's ready to go. He has to be carried into a vehicle and can't lift a rifle. The last...
After the second time of breaking my back and having titanium rods holding 5 vertebrae together...If I can't get a vehicle within winching distance it walks. The last one I took out of a cornfield a short 1/4 mile and that sucked but it weighed 800+ pounds. Carrying head and antlers over your...
26 Nosler, my Buddy basically brought one over with dies, ammo, and a box of case for about half what a bare rifle cost. It likes really slow ball powder and gets really dirty really fast. The ballistics don't justify the downsides. I'm currently running a 127 LRX@3520 or so. I'll probably deer...
I loaded up some 140g Accubonds in my 270WSM several years ago, they shot great. The shot so great I put three of them into a buck at about 80 yards and they made a group you could cover with a quarter, and the exit group you could cover with a 50 cent piece. No expansion. Haven't used them...
Of the powders not already talked about you also can use 4198 and varget. I just bought some 8208xbr the other day, about fell over when I saw it on the shelf. I thought I would never see any for sale in a gun store again.
I'm sitting on a PILE of 270 bullets and am intrigued by the 277 Fury.
Not so much the 80,000psi capability but a CHEAP practice/deer/varmint/truck gun that doesn't use 70g of powder..
I have a number of 270 caliber rifles but nothing in that category.
Has anyone heard of a factory Howa...
Factory rifle,Nosler 48. It isn't the rifle, as long as I use ball powder it is fine, stick powder tends to powder bridge. It seems to like WC870 which I have a LOT of. I think the 27 Nos is a better cartridge. I have a 270-300WM which is a great cartridge and easily outperforms the 26 Nosler...
I started headspacing off the shoulder on belted magnums due to case stretching, The die I was using at the time pushed the shoulder back .020"(way too much), I usually push it back about .003" now. In between that and using a Innovative body die case life and accuracy improved and no bolt...
