I recall an outdoor show that featured an interview with a woman who was a Sako rep in North America. To quote her "say-ko" is a watch, "sock- oh" is a rifle.

I have several pounds of H 870 was was nearly thirty years old when I bought it. That was 45 years ago. It still smells right and performs as intended. Unfortunately it is just outperformed by modern powders.

IMR 4350 is as good a 270 win 130 gr powder as any.

Fotis, I posted a while back with the results in a thread Ramshot Grand 270 Win.

I got a heck of a deal on my current Ford truck, 2013 F-150 XLT 5.0 4x4, due to a discount number provided by a Ford employee "relative". It has 140,000+ miles and has been very reliable and has handled some very rough terrain in New Mexico and Colorado.

Doesn't anyone have a rifle that the first animal was a rabbit, squirrel, coyote, or javelina.

When I started reloading for the Robert's back in 1982, I found a load in a very old Pacific reloading manual for 117 gr bullet and 47grs of H-4831. It was way more velocity (2900 fps) than any load in any manual. I gave it a try and it shot really small groups with the 117 Sierra. I...

I do not use that combo. I've found H 4831 and Reloder 22 are the key to the Roberts.

Alas, it's gone.

I got a back in stock notice from Midway this morning. Reloder 26, get after it.

One of my friends etec went down because of the ignition computer or what ever it's called. He can get a used one for around 1500 and add labor with no guarantee. He's looking for a new or newer outboard.

Life is good when you draw " the" tag. Good luck on your hunt.

I used grand with a 150 partition, my load ended up being 62.0 grs with a magnum primer. The deviations were large using regular rifle primers. I did a ladder test starting at 57.5 and working up.

Remington made a stainless model 700 classic in 257 roberts that was short action. One of the Sierra bullets with the short ogive might be a good option.
