If you decide to give it another go, this old article is how I did did mine. I just bedded it though, didn’t do pillars. https://www.accurateshooter.com/technical-articles/stress-free-pillar-bedding/

Thanks for clarifying the range and purpose. I can’t really say much that hasn’t been said already except that I’ve personally used a 270 with 150g partitions on deer up to 320 yards and it performed excellently. Unfortunately I have no load data as it was prior to my reloading days. Please...

What is the intended purpose of the load you’re trying to make? Reason I ask is because I noticed you shoot a sendero which my mind associates with long range and working up a load with 150gr partitions which I associate with closer shots that need deep penetration. Aside from that, I like...

This should be a decent place to start. http://m-b-r.co.uk/PDF/Sierra%20270%20Win.pdf You can also find some loads on Nosler and Hodgdon’s website as a cross reference.

Wow, thank you for that detailed reply. You answered many of the questions I still had about many of the various options available, and brought up things I didn't even realize. I didn't know there were different types of BCG and how they affected the cycling of the rifle. I have a lot more...

That's a nice sounding parts list. Which psa upper did you go with?

After a lot of thinking, I believe it's time I try my hands at owning an AR. Everything I've read says you're much better off building vs buying. So I've been looking at kits to help keep the cost hopefully under $700. The build kits I'm considering are: PSA 16" CHF Mid-Length 5.56 NATO 1/7...

Welcome!!!

I'm afraid you're correct about the needle in a haystack. I have a 270win with a BOSS and have tried to find this type of info. In the end I had to go with the mfg recs and play with it when shooting factory loads. After I started to handload I basically set it and forgot it. I set it to what...

Thanks for the help guys! I'm glad I have some good possible replacements. Roy, I'm glad you mentioned 4000mr because it is available. Do you have any load info that you've came across? I wasn't able to find a lot. If it works out for me, it'll save me about ten bucks a pound. Chris.

After finding a great load for my 270win with Rl22, I can't find the stuff anywhere. I can however find Norma powders. What have you guys had luck with? I'm thinking of either 204 or MRP. I've heard Rl22 is relabeled MRP but you hear a lot of things online...

Rt2506, I never thought if it like that. You bring up a very good point about where to place it. Looks like I may do something like wyowin mentioned in the bathroom closet. It's only about 10' from my side of the bed. It'd still be close and secure. Thanks for the insite and help guys...

It sounds like you and your kids were raised like I was. As soon as I was old enough I was exposed to what firearms were and my dad and I shot all the time. We had a lot of discussions about safety and proper handling. You bring up a good point about taking the wonderment out of firearms...

Well men, I'm now the proud papa of two beautiful little girls. My job as a father is to keep them safe, so my days of gun in the nightstand are essentially over. I'm looking fo recommendations on a good bedside gun safe. This way I can keep tiny fingers from it while having it near if it's...

Thanks for all the help guys. Judging by all the replies, sounds like I'll be going with the zeiss most likely. Now I just have to find one to look through if possible. I don't know anyone with any nice quality glass to look through, so I'm going to hit up the local shops. I'll be the first...
