No anti cant device, just a very well set scope and try to keep it plumb. I can get a 3 shot group that you can cover with a dime in one set, then it can broden out to about 2" in another. Same loads. Nosler 150 gr, ABLR .270 which I have read are extremely hard to get to stablize at 100. Alot...

I have one of these on a 6.5X20X40mm Vari X III. My load is spot on and confirmed yet when testin at long range, out to 700 yards one shot is magic and another could miss entirely on a target size the mass of a game animal. It's not me, I'm using a lead sled calm mornings. Anyone ever tried...

If anyone happens to use quickload, I'd really be most appreciative if someone could run me a quickload for the following: Nosler ABLR 150 gr. Using IMR 4350. Browning A bolt 22" barrel, with the BOSS brake, about 19" without it. Not sure how to view the barrel length with the brake. I have...

OK guys, here it is without giving too much away. A lot of comment and I love that. But sometimes you just have to just ask yourself does it work? Or doesn't it? My experience at the conditions provided in my opening post it makes a difference. ANYTHING that further advances your probabilities...

I've been testing this device in the spring as of late. Early mornings with temps around 35-45 degrees. It's getting warmer now but I would set right up with the rifle staying locked in my winterized travel trailer overnight. I kept it in a cold environmment in a scabbard in the back of the...

Most long range shooters will agree the first shot at long range, or a "cold shot" say over 650-700 yards or even further can be less than accurate compared to the same shot two or three rounds later. At a target it's one thing, At a game animal it's a whole different matter. Complete misses or...

I suppose I should call it good on the load. Afterall, I have gone through a 100 lot box last fall and still didnthave it dialed. Then, it took all the way to spring to score another one and I only have 35 left. Who knows when I may find them again. However I do question the chrony, and should...

I forgot to mention, my chronograph is a cheap green fold open box called the chrony, made by " chrony inc". $100.00 Candaian deal. A buddy of mine told me he used to have one and says they are 100-130 Fps high so if he's right, im only about 2850. Trouble is, I can only get 7828 ssc to play...

Ive been playing around with a new bullet. I have the VLD down and shooting nice in my 270 A bolt SS. Now I'm toying with the sought after nosler 150 ALRB. I have it close but a question on velocity: At .050 off (coal of 3.402 56.5 IMR 7828 ssc ) at 100 yd. a five shot group will get me 4of 5...

I was wondering how long others age before processing. The family business has an auxillary cooler 28x8 ft. That is cleared out by fall so we have the opportunity to age at a stable temp. I once aged an elk brought out whole for 21 days at 38 degrees. That is the process for dry aged beef. I...

I had a problem on a recent deer hunt. I had two cartridges seperate from the bullet when opening the bolt, thus spilling powder and leaving the bullet in the barrel. These loads are set .020 off the rifling and are even lightly crimped. I checked all my shells with my caliper and they are...

How would one determine/locate the TRUE BC?

Bullets are berger VLD 150 grain 270. Provided published g1 co efficient but this bullet has been around long enough if the published and actual BC is different shouldnt leupold know better?

I recently recieved my scope back from leupold aand gave it a go last night. I was not impressed. While sighting in at 100 i took the opportunity to verify my load. It is spot on and quite stable on the velocity with only a 40 FPS variation in six rounds for a mean FPS just 17 over what was...

Dumb question of the day. I have a small hornaday digital scale I have been using. I recently purchased a kit from lee that has the perfect powder measure and a pendelum scale as well. The perfect powder measure conversion says calibrate it to (insert setting here) and the lee pendelum scale...
