I was able to re shoot a couple loads and I think I have settled on a load for deer season. Peterson brass Fed 210M 58.5gn of n160 140gn Nosler AB

I know a couple buddies have had success with it. Me and my Seekins just couldn't find anything agreeable with StaBall HD. I have had good luck with StaBall 6.5 in my 30-06 so I don't object the product line. I just never had much luck with HD, especially considering n565 shot so well and was...

I tried so many primers and never had great luck with it. I used CCI 250, Rem 9-1/2 Mag, Winchester LRM, CCI 200, and Winchester LR. The only thing that shot half way decent was the Rem 9-1/2M with 140 ELD-M over book max loaded right to the lands. ES/SD was okay but still double what I was...

I tried StaBall HD in 6.5PRC. The only way to describe it was, terrible. ES and SD were way to high. Velocity was never close to any published data. Got okay accuracy with 140 ELD-M but all other bullets did not produce acceptable results. H4831sc and N565 were much better options in my...

Finally got a chance to shoot at 100 and had some pretty good results. The mirage was terrible after 10a and I just felt I didn't perform the best today with my fundamentals but still narrowed some things down to try at a later date. 140 TGK/RL23 - Very repeatable and similar...

I used a Caldwell Rock front rest. I bought it from BPS years ago for like $50-60. I recently ripped the front bag so I replaced it with a Protektor #1small front bag. Its much better then what came on the Caldwell. For the rear, I use a MDT Grand Old Canister bag. I have the large, and...

270 Win

Did a little more load work today. I was hoping to be able to shoot 100yds but the field was still not cut, so 50yds was max. Still got good data and narrowed down a couple things. Here are the highlights of what will get loaded back up and retested at 100yds in a couple weeks. 135...

I sold my 270 Win Browning X Bolt Hells Canyon in January 2024 and have been itching too add a 270 back into the safe. I was going to go with a 280AI but came across a good deal on a Tikka T3x Roughtech Tan and had to scoop it up. The barrels are now cerakoted on these rather than blued so...

I had to add a 270 back to the safe. I had a Browning X Bolt Hells Canyon and sold it. I actually missed that rifle and the 270 Win. I killed by first deer in NC with my dad's 270 and have been hunting with a 270 for most of my life. After deer season I had a chance to get get a 280AI or a...

I think this would be the way to handle it. As others have said, there are a lot of variables to overcome without the rifle being present. But it loading is what ends up happening, 4831sc and a 140 bullet is what I would load. Or the n160 and 130gr you found success with can be a clue as...

The first of the year I take apart my dies and spry them down with brake cleaner and let them air dry. Calibers I load for a lot might get a 2nd cleaning in the summer.

My buddy played with n568 in 6.5prc. Found it to be kind of a dud. He got way better results with n560 and n565. He ran out of case capacity to get the expected performance. Maybe it'll work better in 270 wsm, but I would go n565 or n560 well before n568.

565 is the ticket for 6.5 prc. Should work well in 7 prc also. 565 is what i shot in my Seekins 6.5 prc and shot many sub 1/2 moa groups with it. 59gr and a 140 ELD-M or 140 TGK was 2950+ fps. I've also used n550 in 30-06. Great velocity. 165 bullets is 2900ish with 56.5gr. Still havent...
