    It is. I got lucky when I ordered my dies. Midway happened to have a set of Redding dies in stock for $199.95.

    Only had mine for a few weeks. It is based on my old Rem 700 270 win mountain rifle, Trigger tech trigger, Bell and Carlson Monte Carlo stock, and a Pac-Nor #4 sporter 1 in 8 twist w/26.5" finished barrel length. Optics are a VV 6-24. Current accuracy load is 60.5 grains of H1000, 170 Berger...

    270 ackley improved

    It is a true AI. I was a bit surprised by the velocity with the H1000. RL 26 was going to be next. No loads showed any signs of excessive pressure. The wind was a factor-not all of the groups looked like the ones in the pictures...

    My 270 improved came back from the gunsmith a few weeks back. It is based on my old Rem 700 270 win mountain rifle, I added a trigger tech trigger, Bell and Carlson monte carlo stock, and a Pac-Nor #4 sporter 1 in 8 twist w/26.5" finished barrel length. Optics are a VV 6-24. Plans are to use it...

    Thank you TBRice, Mudrunner and FEENIX for your replies. Lots to consider! I will be looking at the Whidden hydraulic forming die today. One of the advantages to living in E.

    I am in the middle of a 270 improved build (My Rem 700 270 win mountain rifle, triggertech, Bell and Carlson, Pac-Nor #4 sporter 1 in 8 twist w/27" finished barrel length). My question is brass.
