    .270. 130 or 150 grain ?

    Here is a little story. My great grandfather gave me a 270 when I was very young. Never shot it until I was in my 20's. First box I bought was some 150's thinking that these would be good for mule deer. Went to the range to sight in and could not hit the broad side of a barn. Went through two...

    I know all I am is a blubbering mess reading these stories.

    The worst day possible has come.

    I know your feeling all to well. It has been 3 years since we put down our yellow lab and I still miss him.

    Truck tire suggestions

    I went with Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T 305/55/R20's had Cooper M/T and were just to loud on the HWY. I did get 48,000mi on the Cooper's though. These were on my 2018 Chevy Silverado 1500 LTZ with the trailer towing package, with a 3.5 inch lift.

    .270. 130 or 150 grain ?

    I can only get my .270 to shoot 130's accurately. Barrel has too slow of a twist to stabilize the heavier bullets. the only bonus is that it likes any 130 I put in it, not picky at all currently using Berger's.

    What is your recoil threshold poll?

    I have a .50 Beowulf SBR and with the 400 gr bullet, sitting on a bench is not much fun. Standing can shoot all day. Shooting position determines how much recoil I am willing to deal with.

    Barrel Harmonics Testing

    I have a tuner and you start with it screwed in all the way. Then start turning it out 3 notches at a time. Go out at least 1 full turn and see where your best groups are, then fine tune from there.

    Anyone wanna help a new guy?

    Found that Retumbo worked best for me with heavy's, works best with mag primers, fed 215's preferred.

    Primers in stock

    Last I checked this is a free country. If you want to pay $150 a brick that is good for you. Personally I'm not going to pay that so when I run out I run out. Just making sure I have my hunting ammo set up and will wait to shoot the others when prices go down. Do not blame others for what they...

    A little stumped load development virgin brass vs once fired

    Question then. As it sits right now my OCW is at 56.5 with the velocity of 2950. Should I re evaluate and start over for the OCW? As it is I had some of my brass that I threw out because the primer pockets were loose most likely form those 57gr and above charges. I really do not want to burn the...

    A little stumped load development virgin brass vs once fired

    I agree with you totally. When I did the initial loading with the A-Tip's I only went as high at 56.5. When I got the Berger data and started shooting their 153's and starting off at Min of 57gr and not finding any pressure signs until 62gr where I stopped. So looking at this I figured that I...
