Nice turd! HEHEHE
My life would be simpler if my addiction was limited to .27 cal!Love that Savage WSM @tbrice23 .
Is it safe to call you a 27 addict? Either that, or you've plain got a lot of rifles in general.
Agree.... same goes hereMy life would be simpler if my addiction was limited to .27 cal!
The Barnes hold together, l been found bullets, but they usually pass though .I've always wondered how the Barnes 130 would do on Elk. Can you expand on your experience with that? I used the 130 SST on a cow elk once and it came apart inside the shoulder. Still got the cow, but I was left wishing for a better bullet.
Took me a few days to get to it, but here are a couple of pics of the .270win I described in post #2 of this thread. I am really happy with how it turned out, as you could tell from my post #2. It basically looks bone stock, except the original 1970s era ADL came with iron sights and a gloss finish on the press checkered stock. The Shilen has no iron sights and when refinishing the stock we went with a satin finish, actually recut real checkering into the stock, and installed a more comfy recoil pad. I love this rifle. It's not as practical in all conditions as some of my others in HS or Magpul stocks with detachable magazines, or with massive Vortex Razor or PST Gen II, or NF ATACR scopes, but it is a simple, pure, go get a deer now rifle setup with a nice little 3.5-10 VX3 and it shocks the crap out of everyone who sees or shoots it because of how accurate and easy to shoot it is. I also like the ADL blind magazine- no need to worry about the bottom metal falling open, and it's one less thing to clean when I bring it home.I think we need to post some pics of these great guns......
I believe nosler down graded the bc on the 150 lrab to 0.591 or close to it.Here is a 3 shot group @ 100 yards with my Browning X-Bolt in .270 using hand loaded 130 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips. I am sighted in 2" high at 100 yards and since I was dealing with a slight crosswind, I decided against making any windage adjustments to my scope.
I just sold the Browning as I didn't like the noise of the BOSS and just picked up a Sauer Classic 100, also in .270, to replace it. This is primarily for hunting purposes for which I hope it shoots Hornady 130 grain factory loads well. For a fun side project, I did pick up Nosler LR 150 grain bullets with a B.C. of .625 to see if I can find a load that works well for long range shooting. We will see!
