What kind of optics are you after? There are many canadian dealers on CanadianGunNutz.com, and with the exchange right now they are pretty close on price to American sites. Wanstalls, Wolverine Supplies, SFRC are all great dealers. If you aren't on CGN, you should register.

Looking preferably for a ~#4 Shilen size-chart contour, with or without fluting. 1:9 twist would be preferable, 1:10 would suffice. Slightly used would be fine, Rem 700 action if threaded, either 270 Win or WSM (no WBY) if already chambered. Thanks!

Looking for Redding dies in 270 WSM. Already have the neck sizer, just need a Competition bullet seating die and a body die. Also looking for a reamer for a 270 WSM, let me know what you have as far as size. Thanks, TrqTTs

If you're looking for an alternative to H4831, you might want to try a different burn rate as it's pretty similar to RL22, unless you're getting shotty accuracy from the 4831. W/ heavy bullets, I'd give Retumbo a try. I use it for 150-165 Gr bullets in my 270 WSM, fantastic results.

I'm guessing it's a 270? I just finished testing some 165 Gr Matrix out of my 270 WSM, penetration was ~3" of water (milk carton) followed by about ~9" into wet newspaper. I haven't cleaned & weighed the bullets, but none of them blew up, they all penetrated similarly, no core separation and...

I'll have to +1 on the Matrix VLD's. 5-shots sub MOA out of my bone-stock sporter X-Bolt in 270 WSM. Thanks BnG for advocating the Matrix. 66.5 Gr Retumbo, Fed 215M, 2.920 OAL (max for my magazine, .025 off lands), 2975 fps from a 23" barrel. I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on any...

Bullet offerings in .277 have been on the increase in the past ~5 years after quite a length of time being stagnant. Even Nosler has/is introducing an Accubond LR in .277. So, ask yourself: A) Why is that? (Answer: Primarily because of the 270 WSM cartridge) B) If bullet manufacturers are...

The man has spoken!! Thanks once again, BnG!!

I can't speak from experience just yet, but if I'm not mistaken the VLD's will require playing around with the seating depth to tighten your groups. There was an article written about playing around with the gap, but I can't seem to find it now. Edit: disregard, I just read the 'jump...

Do you or anyone you've seen have any recovered Matrix bullets from impact, whether animal, gelatin, wet newspaper or other? I'm wondering how they do in the expansion department. Ultimately i'd like to use my 270 wsm for northern Ontario moose, and right now I'm leaning towards the...

Great thread, thank you for the time you put in to this research! You and BnG are my 270 "idols", lol. My question would be, do you feel that the difference in claimed BC to calculated BC would be the same/similar in the 165 gr bullet? Subscribed fo sho.

Sorry to dig up an old thread, searched and couldn't find anything else and didn't want to start a new Topic. I'm looking at picking up a Browning in .270 WSM. I know this is a very subjective topic, but what's everyone's opinion/experience on the A-Bolt vs X-Bolt topic? I like the X-bolt's...

Are you F'in kidding me? Forget about my last PM.

is it the ARC model?
