Here's a few pics of a some boars I shot recently in the NT,Australia. A few were shot at extreme using my Winchester model 70 270WSM using 140gn Nosler accubonds. The largest boar (hanging up) weight 110kg (242lbs)

I think you will find Retumbo is too slow burning to be an effective performer in the 270. Shot to shot variations in velocity can often attributed to certain powders in certain cartridges. Years ago I tested RE22 with 100gn bullets in my 243 and velocity varied by as much as 120fps. When I...

I use a Competition Electronics Pro Chrono Plus,it performs well and is relatively inexpensive.

Of the 5-6 powders tested during load developement for my Ruger M77 .280 RE19 gave the highest velocity with 140gn Accubonds. Like many here I use 57gns of RE19 with 140gn pills. It shoots like hell and kills like lightning.

Are you using Nickel cases ?

Nice work fellas. Looking at the landscape your a long way out west ?
