Hey, do you still have Retumbo? I would like a little of that.

We have a couple ranges about 1.5 hrs south of salt lake. And a few shooters around.

Ive done a good bit of reading here and Ive found a ton of help. Thru it all Ive come up with a load that I think has alot to offer. Good accuracy (.35 occasionally) . but true to form, i need,more consistency. Im working with a 270wsm with 165 vlds around 64gr of retumbo win mag primers. Ive...

Hey i was hoping some of you guys could give me some tips on a starting load for my 270 wsm. One thing thats a little different with my project is it has a 31 in barrel. We used a shilen 1-10 with 160 free bore. I would like to use this for 1k paper. I would love to hear your thoughts on load...

Thanks for your help again Bigngreen! Interesting comment. What would be the downfall to going with a tight neck? I've heard you have a great history with this rifle. I'm interested in what you have seen.

Hey J E Custom. Thanks for the link ! Great read. Tho I may read it again. A lot of bits of info there. Thanks for your help.

Wow! Impressive!!! What bullets have you found that your 7 likes ?

Thanks Fjseaman. This rifle will be for shooting paper or fun only. Thanks for your comments. I appreciate any advice you have for me.

Thanks Chrishatley. If you don't mind my asking. What kind of range and accuracy are you getting out of your 7? A while ago I made the mistake of shooting my buried rifle at 1000yds. Boy did I get bit! What a learning curve. Thanks for your comments.

Thanks J E Custom. I'm a bit limited on this project. I have a heavy bull 30in barrel I will use. I intend on using a tight neck with a little througt. I really like the 135 match kings but I think I will need a heavier bullet for 1000yd. I have heard nothing but good about matrix vlds. I'm just...

My idea is to put a 30in barrel on my wsm. I see how this can be tuff due to lack of printed data. I have people say as long as possible and a lot say 28in max.there must be advantages to both. Does anyone care to share there experience to educate me a little bit? I sort of understand the burn...

Re: 6.5-270 wsm ?s big hit with everyone. Well it lookslike I'm staying with the 270wsm. New Shilen is in the mail. But I would like your opinion on the reamer. I thought off going with a minimum spec as to neck size so I could still use the dies that I have. Or am I ahead to go with a tight...

Wow thanks for the great info. Tons of help!

Wow ! Sounds like you fellas are sold !:) good on ya an glad to hear it. What kind of prep and load are ya putting behind those matrix bullets? I have read that a bullet that heavy may like a faster twist and a bit longer barrel also. Sounds like you have a lot of things figured out that I'm...
