.270 sherman max

[Eat Rice]

This is a project that has been in the works for quite some time. Ive had the reamer for almost 2 years now the stock and action for almost the same. And just recently received my barrel from carbon six. Being a farmer most of the projects end up taking a back burner until i get time. Also archery hunting takes my time as well. Well anyway here it is.
Tikka t3x
Mesa precision stock
22" carbon six magnum 7.5 twist
Mountain tactical 20 moa rail, bolt handle, and mag
Hawkins rings
Vortex viper lht 4.5-22 moa



So far have only been fireforming my first 50 pieces of brass and getting it on paper.
I have loaded 140 sierra game changers over rl26 from 59gr to 65 grains with br2 primers. It seems to be that for fireforming purposes 65 grain in that combo seems to be max or close to it with a heavier bolt lift and flattened primer. It topped out 3150 or so. No real accuracy report yet. After I finish forming brass and breaking in the barrel I will be working with the hammer hunter 156 and berger 170s as I have about 700 of them acquired with another barrel powders of choice will be h1000 n565 rl26 and n570 with the 170s and rl23, rl26, n555 or h4831sc with 156s. This thread will be used to document the load data and workup and hopefully so nice kills too

When I get back to my reloading room i will post my fire forming data from my book.
