[QUOTE="Trstall, post: 951043, member: 78918"] Thank you! I'm seeing the differences between the Hornady Manual and "reality" at almost every turn here and you guys have been invaluable. I plan on working up the load 3 down from MAX in the Hornady book and slowly go upwards on the .020 off the lands depth ( now that I don't have to worry about the canulure) and just watch for pressure signs. Part of getting into this, besides the $$, is to effectively use the versatility of the .270. A 110gr V-MAx with a BC of .370 ought to do very well for most varmint and even smaller game at distance. I used the .270 w/150gr in South Africa last year ( and will also reload 150gr here now) and it took everything up to Elk size. Kudu, Nyala, Wildebeest. I held back on Eland. THe PH said it was OK, but with that body mass closer to a large Moose I shoulda brought the .375 as well. .-- Next time. Thank you again for the input and I'd appreciate any others chiming in. I'm learning that there is a whole lot to learn and everyone does things a bit different. BUt the input here is FAR superior to the manuals! [/QUOTE]
