    Standard 270 win

    I'm running 150 grain Berger vld with 55 grain h4831sc. It's not too fast at 2800 fps but so accurate. Easily under .5 moa out of my old savage 110. It's taken antelope at 420 with exit. Also I've shot steel out to 600 yards. I'm thinking about play with some rl26. I do run the same load in...

    Reloading equipment question

    If you're just thinking of getting started I would not recommend going crazy. Reloading is not for everyone. It is tedious work. I personally reload for precision not price and not Volume . You can make very quality reloads with a rock Chuck press and a beam scale. I've been using the same...

    Need a new rifle -- Recommendations!

    Love my older Sendero in 7mmrm but it's a tank. My oldest son got the Browning X-bolt hells canyon speed (not the long range) it's pretty good. Heloaded 168 Berger .020 jump with 72 grains of Retumbo. Shoots sub moa and still hasn't really dialed it in. The action is excellent! But trigger is...

    Favorite gun and cartridge for hogs?

    Not long range but the majority of the hogs I killed is with my sks 7.62 x 39 123 grain fmj Longest shot 75 yards. Most of my shots were 20 yards. Typically shoot them low just behind the elbow. They never got far. If you can get the ear shot they will drop in their tracks.
