[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 110614, member: 10"] JDJones, Take a 7mm or 300 RUM, run it though a properly adjusted 270 AM Fl sizing die until the case just chambers with a snug fit in the chamber, load with 95.0 gr of 869 or 872 with at least a 140 gr bullet and shoot them. If I am going to form cases with bullets I generally use the 169.5 gr ULD RBBT with the same powder charge. Accuracy is almost always 1/2 moa with fireforming loads and velocity will be in the 3050-3100 fps range. With the BC of this bullet your looking at ballistic potential far above anything the 300 RUM can get with full loads even with a 240 gr SMK. Or you can simply use a corn meal case forming method, burn around 22 grains of Unique and the rest of the case filled with cornmeal and plug the case mouth with a toilet paper wad. Much cheaper and no barrel wear. I have said dozens of times how the 270 AM is really no different or harder to load then a 7mm RUM but ballistic potential is pretty impressive with the 169.5 gr ULD RBBTs. Easiest wildcat in the world to load for!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
