I am in Michigan. I'd be all over it with a faster twist rate. I want one that pushes the heavies for deer.
No problem, this is way to heavy IMHO for stalking deer. Should be just the ticket to sit on the edge of a field and knock down coyotes though.I am in Michigan. I'd be all over it with a faster twist rate. I want one that pushes the heavies for deer.
Thanks for the heads up. It came with 100 Lapua once fired brass, and I am going to order 100 more. Makes it fun to re-load.It just occurred to me that you've got a .270 neck chamber. Be prepared for outside neck turning of brass if you buy new cases. It will likely be absolutely required.
Great use of the word! I'm checking into it as of today. What wold be "good" equipment to start with? Was looking at the Forster outside hand kit?BallisticsGuy has a key point. Check the neck thickness of your once fired brass against the new brass you may purchase. Neck turning for consistent bullet release may be paramount (haven't used that word in a while!). And if you've never turned necks, get ready to read with a few cups of coffee! Good luck
Right on. looks like .0005 to .0012 should do it.turned necks are the precision of the round. do not buy cheap gear to turn with.
brass will last a long time, you may never need the second 200. 270 is on the large end of turned necks, it will not take much to get there.
I will look into it...Thanks!I use K&M neck turning tools with hand drill and a Mitutuyo ball micrometer. My 6br necks are quite consistent. If I were starting from scratch I might try the 21rst Century lathe.
