[QUOTE="Andy4600, post: 2589554, member: 123873"] I am considering a 270 Redding for my next build. Does anyone have any experience with this round? One of the things I would like to know is the best method for obtaining brass...and which brass would work best? I have been thinking about this build a long long time...and when I first started kicking the idea around I was going to use Remington brass. That doesn't seem to be an option anymore. The primary purpose for the gun is hunting. I already have a 270 WIN, and wanted something similar with lighter recoil. I have also noticed that components are more plentiful in .277 right now, plus I already have some. I will set the gun up for monolithic bullets...something like the 130 gr Nosler E-tip, 129 gr Barnes LRX. I might look into some of the Hammer offerings as well. I was considering either a 1-8.5" or 1-9" twist, and maybe 22" barrel. I might go longer, but not more than 25". I was considering threading for a suppressor as well...which was why I was looking at 22". This is the more costly of the wildcats I was considering, as the dies are harder to find and cost more when located. I think Redding is the only supplier, and it is only a basic two die combo set. I would like a better bullet seater die, something like the Forrester dies...I think I could get that made by using the reamer on the sleeve of maybe a 260 Rem die? [/QUOTE]
