Hey Sender thanks for the info on the lighter barnes. I have been wondering whether I try the lighter projectile.

Thanks guys. I think I give the 160 part's a go soon. I have a few more barnes to work with if they do get put to huntin use. Life is in the way of getting this fun stuff done so hopefully I can get back onto it soon. Isnt it funny bob. Victorians will jump at the chance for a red deer and...

...oh and this is what just one sambar leg looks like. mmmmm

Well here are some pics. I'm a sh!t photographer. It looks like any other Patriot. I hope I upload them right. I think your on the money with the Partitions. I have seen some 160's for sale so I reckon I can get them easily enough. What are you propelling those Partitions with? I havent seen...

Hey I've been waiting for you to show up. I haven't managed to find a sweet spot using the 2213sc (with 150Barnes or the 150SST). I used to load for a 243 and have some left over 2209 that I might try instead. I wanted RL17 but go find the stuff. Not heaps of choice for projies locally...

Hi again eveyone, I have started reloading a M48 Patriot in .270Win. At the moment I am working with these components; Powder: H4831 Brass: Winchester Primers: Federal Gold Projectile: Barnes 150 TSX-FB & Hornady 150 SST The rifle seems to handle pressure very well, a touch over book max is...

Hi guys, I'm based in Australia, Nosler rifles are pretty rare down here and I am the proud owner of one. I am very happy with the quality of the rifle except for the glass bedding, to my eye it is not a thorough bedding job and resembles a hot glue bed. Depending on how my reloading goes, I...
