Wow!! Congratulations on a tremendous amount of success and a GREAT write up! Eric does build a great rifle. I have used him a lot and highly recommend him. Thanks again Chase; you were a joy to work with. Oh that we could all have a season close to yours. You must have a lot of friends.....rich

Thanks Rich, it was a great season. Luckily the county's I hunt in allow 5 deer per hunter and some of the ranches have MLD permits. We put down a decent amount of game with the 270 wsm and 140 bergers this season also. Just trying to be patient and let the barrel burn out on that rifle before it gets converted to a 270SS

270ss is pretty wicked round!

Nice season man! What load were you using?

Good to see h1000 works well.

180 ELD's with 60 grains RL 26. About 2930 fps.

It's a tikka action with a 26" 1-8 Bartlein. Used the Boyd's At one so my wife and boy can shoot it also.

How many rounds on the tube? Also any trouble reaching 3000fps? That's my goal for the 180gr ELD though i'll likely have to push at 24"

Only 77 rounds. Yea got pressure signs at 61 grains so backed it down and went hunting. After hunting season this year I've been working 100+ hours a week. And it's been pretty cold most days so I haven't done anymore load work. It's starting to warm up so I plan to mess around with it a little more in the next few weeks
