Please read my post about my situation and replacement ammunition….this has been addressed! Don’t give up! Feel free to contact me directly…I think I can help! :)

Me too. In the video I posted it was the most accurate Factory load and they tested ALL 5 factory loads. I have only shot two of Federal's offerings. I asked the Federal rep who helped me with the replacement ammunition if they were selling those bullets yet as components....the answer is not...

Good Video, tests with all 5 factory loads, AND incredible short barrel performance. My two cents, but this is a cartridge that will be here to stay.

Thank you. The reason I was asking was because I wanted to get a feel for what the factory ammunition is a baseline would do with a 24 inch barrel. My Sig cross is 20 inches but I was considering getting a 24 inch barrel for it. My velocities came out a little low versus predicted on the 20 inch...

How long is that barrel? 24” without the brake?

you are of course correct as that is still impressive out of a 20" barrel. My thoughts exactly as this is basically a short actioned, short barreled, .270 Win with 24" barrel performance. ...and that is enough for the biggest Bull Elk that walks at any sane range. IF Sig made the Cross in good...

My opinion only, throat erosion issues will be minimal. Why? The smaller powder charges being used, while at higher pressures, reduce the length of time and volume of gas that cause your throat to get torched . MOST throat erosion is an issue when you are shooting a hot barrel repeatedly of...

Shot my .277 Fury Sig Cross today, 20" Barrel . A bit bummed with the velocities with factory ammunition. For example, the 135 grain velocities were about where a 16" barreled gun should be. I was hoping for more like 3000 FPS, which is about in the middle between 16" and 24" velocities per...

UPDATE: Went to the Range today well armed with new (reformulated by Federal replacements which are the "on the run" loads now ) ammunition from Federal. They had promptly provided me with three boxes of ammunition after I spoke with them regarding my stuck case. Today I shot Two different...

Too funny :) Mine was pretty homely. Not scoped. I have a question I have been thinking about for 50 years since I was 13. Mine did not seem to feed properly. So I purchased another magazine. Still did not feed properly. Now that I have been around guns for so long, I am wondering if the reason...

I had a 340 in .30-30...My first deer rifle!

thank you. I haven't decided whether to re-chamber or not......lots to be said for leaving it as is :) Best Regards.

I have a minty 660 Remington in .222. I always loved these little rifles, and obviously Remington made very few .223's in either 660's or 600's and they are collectors today......So I thought I would try what .222 Factory ammunition I could find. (I have also considered re-chambering to .223...

filmjunkie4ever: probably long gone, but if you have them i am happy to oblige with shipping sir. I am a filmjunkie also! thanks and have a great day.

Gotcha. Thank you. Nice rig....mine is so clean i am going to keep it stock. and it is accurate also! but will just keep weights below the 60 grain threshold.
