[QUOTE="Bearhyde, post: 297400, member: 18875"] 270 cal is my preferred deer cartridge. I deer hunt the extreme NE corner of the South Dakota coulee country near Sisseton. We walk for miles each and every day for most of the month of November. This will continue to be my daily carry deer rifle so I want the weight to remain below 10 pounds. I know there are better ballistics and bullet choices available with other calibers out there but I am determined to own a fine shooter in 270 Win. I want to squeeze some more accuracy out of it for those 400 - 500 yard shots at broadside trophy bucks I pass on each year due to the limitations of the rifle and factory ammo. I won't have the time to set up a reloading bench this year with Minnesota bear baiting on the horizon so I will be shooting Hornady & Black Hills ammo for one more hunting season. In the mean time I will be putting all of your advice to work toward accurizing my deer rifle. Who makes a top quality custom barrel for my medium to long range application? There are a lot to choose from - each one claiming to be the best for one reason or other. I figure you guys would know from experience. Any advice on my bolt concerns? Thanks largely to this forum I'm already pondering caliber choices for an extreme long range custom rifle in the future. (I still can't believe the impressive distances you guys routinely talk about.) There are a number of perfect sniping spots in our area that I plan on packing a heavier long range rifle into in the future. [/QUOTE]
