[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 927541, member: 69773"] The 270 win aspect is fine with lead core bullets. The challenge is that the forced conversion to copper bullets means that I am limited to around 100 ish grains CEB or maybe 130 gr. gmx, which (according the specs) will barely stabilize unless I really push the velocity to up the rpms. In total, roughly 3 - 4 viable bullets and 1/2 of those are nearly repeats. Maybe this is good, I just pick one bullet, reload 3 velocities and go home if they won't work. Who cares about the $ 1 000 spent on a license and getting to the hunt ? (that's light humor BTW, not to insult anyone) Maybe I am just old school, but in my mind, 100 ish grain = varmit round, not hog or black bear round unless you are a really good shot and a calm person. I am - well, less than this. Just for fun I have been watching ammo and supplies availability for various rounds like 338 (various) 35 whelen, 358 win, and 375 types. It is amazing how much this varies day to day, and how many more options exist at 338, 9.3, and 375 types than 35 caliber. A number of firms build rounds up to 338, and others start at 9.3, skipping 35 caliber completely. Maybe I should take the hint and just find a moderate 375 type setup that won't break my shoulder. :) [/QUOTE]
