Someone really should have went through saami and come out with the 270 redding aka 270-08. Could have sold at least a couple rifles.

I would just seat a 200.20x or 215 berger where you want it, and know that other choices will be off a tad. If you can get the 200.20 to shoot well you really need to run some numbers to see if you gain much running anything heavier.

Gave it a go the other day, two rifles. My 260AI and 300wsm. Shot prone with a atlas bipod/rear bag. Really good conditions, like a 1mph wind from moving a bit from like 10-1130. 1 1/4 left and a tad high with the 260ai and 2 1/2” low slightly right with the 300.

I would give the 130ttsx a go, I can run them up to almost 3700 from a 26” barrel. Inside 400y very flat shooting and effective.

I would give LRT a go. I just picked some up to try. I run rl33 behind a 127lrx in mine, shoots that very well but its not temp stable.

What are your expectations for this rifle? A light kimber montana is not the easiest rifle to shoot tiny groups with. If you are hunting under 500ish yards winchester is fine. Prep them well and sorting will get some decent consistency. I have run adg, norma and bertram brass. Norma was good...

Whats even worse is when the manufacturer is blending production lines in a box and you get two defined peaks in the distribution and much more variation in bearing surface length and weights.

Take one tall target - like 50” tall. Dot at the top and shoot a group at 100-150-200-350-300 etc. till you get out to 500y. Easy to directly measure the drop on one target without your rifles zero coming into play. You can build a drop card off that dats or if you are running a bullet AB has...

I settled on the 225ttsx at a bit over 2850, its a pretty mild load, Swapping powders I have run it up to 3050ish, but that was getting hard on the brass. I use it as a 500 and under gun and at a hair over 8 pounds total, recoil is pretty snappy. And i have other rifles to stretch things out. I...

33N or 338-300wsm. Go big tac has a stash of Peterson 33n brass, I picked up a few boxes. Haven't had a chance to load it yet, but the neck thickness looks pretty consistent.

I will give him a push, Gary has always been pretty good to deal with.

I leave the level feature turned off in mine, its basically useless. It flashes unless you are very precise on the level, and you have no idea which way you are off when you are close to level. Mine has under 1 degree before it flashes, but in the field figuring out which way you are out 1...

You partner with anyone in Canada yet?

You will prob have to make a mag spacer in the rear of the mags and tune the height and mag lips. The not ejecting is the case staying stuck on the bolt face or just dropping into the action?

Good luck, thats a pretty rare bird to find today. I found a couple boxes of 30 cal 180 black talon’s, wish they still made that bullet in a few calibers.
