I bought an unfired Savage 111 in .270 with Accutrigger for $200.00 yesterday from a buddy in need. I am wanting to build a long range hunting rig. Several questions are running through my head. First, caliber? If I want to use the detachable box magazine and not open the bolt face, would a...

Lucky! I thought I picked up a good deal yesterday! Friend from work sold me a Savage .270 that hasn't been fired, no scope mounted with the Accutrigger for $200.00. Of course it is getting re-barreled and is my new project rifle. I was actually thinking about the 7RUM or STW. Good job buddy.gun)

Thank you Mr. Thomas. The reason I asked is because I weighed about 50 of the SS109's and they all weighed 68 grains exactly. I know this can cause pressure issues but I'm not too worried, I have a 5.56 chamber. I do shoot competition and the statement before this one from the "Boss" is about as...

Thank you MarkV. I have decided to pick up some ball powder, maybe 844. I stuffed a full load of 4198 in Lake City brass with CCI Magnum Small Rifle primers and 27.6gr of RL-15 in the same cases and primers. Thanks for the 2520 load. This is my first time to loads with this powder and it meters...

I have re-read my post and I think it went over wrong. I didn't mean that in a griping tone. I meant that this being a long range hunting forum, many people here probably don't shoot these type's of bullets. I really don't want to go to a different site because it only takes a few minutes and...

I shoot the Hornady 68gr. HPBT's with 25.4gr RL-15. Average is 3,020 f.p.s. I am using L.C. brass and CCI Benchrest primers. Lee Factory Crimp Die. I would start at 24.8 and work up. The reduced loads for the Lake City brass is because of the thicker wall ie. less powder capacity, but I have...

This has been a very informative site and reading the forums and articles I've learned a lot. I submited a question a few days ago for some help with load data for SS 109 bullets. I know these aren't some super accurate 1200 yard hunting loads but come on. I spent 8 years in the US Army as a...

I ahve recently purchased 500 62gr. SS109 and 1200 55gr. Tracer bullets. I looking for a load with AA2520, RL-15 or H-4198. I usually shoot Sierra 69gr. and 77gr. and know that accuracy will not match those loads, but I am ex-Army and love to see those SS109 smoke through .250 plate followed by...

Has anyone shot the 75gr. A-Max in an Ar-15 1-9 twist barrel? Can you give me the C.O.L. and was it a single load. Thank you.

My wife and I are going to Africa for a plains game and Cape Buffalo hunt. She will be taking her .300 win mag and I'm taking a .300 Rem Ultra for plains game. I am planning on taking a .375 Ruger mag. for the Buffalo. Do the P.H.'s care about muzzle brakes. My wife says she'll shoot a buff if...

Can you load a 300 win mag with the RCBS? If so how do I contact you?

Can I use the Lee Hand Press to load the 300 win mag cartridge? Does anyone know of a hand press other than the Lee that will? Thank you.
