I have #10 100-170 grit glass beads.

Have you chronographed it in various temps?

The last 270 I owned shot 55grs of IMR4350 with 130 Partitions under 1/2".

Steel cases are tougher and allow for more pressure but they arent nearly as elastic as brass. The front reciever ring and barrel shanks need to be thicker to handle pressure. Similar to why Lapua and 378 Weatherby show pressure sooner with 1 1/16" threaded barrels versus 1 1/8" threaded...

Higher psi also means heavier parts/thicker materials to sustain the pressure. That defeats some of the benefits of shorter barrels and the trend towards lighter rifles.

It has 2 stages, a coarse stage that stops 3 grains or so short, that is adjustable, and then fine trickles from there. The speed of each stage as well the transition and +/- range are all adjustable in the app. The powders vary in weight, as Jim has said. Powders like N570 are pretty heavy per...

I looked back at some N565 loads with 147 Hornady eld-m's in a 6.5PRC. 55.5grs with Peterson brass averaged 2903fps with a ES of 3.9fps and a standard deviation of 1.7.

If you suspect its neck tension then you can buy a bushing die like the Redding type S or turn the necks on your brass. I generally turn necks on all my brass, even premium brass like Lapua, ADG, etc and I have no problem getting sub 15 es and single digit isnt uncommon. I also tend to jump...

N565 and H1000 produced nearly identical velocities with the same loads in a 6.5PRC when I tested them. I still prefer R-26 in a 6.5PRC but either of those two are a close second.

I do it much like Ridge Runner but I build a clamp on level holder that goes on the barrel because I use Talley's alot versus rails. Its a couple 1x2's clamped together and drilled for several different barrel diameters with a plate of 1/4" steel bolted to the top for the magnetic level. I get...

I'd just settle for spot prawns. We use to catch a bunch off of Vancouver Island.

I've had Dall and Bighorn and both were good.

Sheep is the best followed closely by moose and then elk.

The biggest problem with steel based cases is they are not forgiving like brass. Much of the same as nickle coated cases. In a dirty environment something has to give if dirt enters the chamber, will it be the case or the barrel?

Dont believe everything PTG says. I bought 4 "blueprinted" actions, including 1 307, and 3 were further out then a factory Remington. It was a old Remington with the bandsaw cut at the front of the action too. They didnt like to see the videos I sent them. If that wasnt bad enough the thread...
