CJMAC. I enjoyed reading your thread. Great topic. Great feedback. Seems like I’m never done learning from this forum.

really like the idea of going past and then returning so your pressing on the spring! Better than tapping! Thank you Gil!’

I guess one more comment. You said you cleaned it 15 shots ago. Is it clean clean? Did you remove copper fouling? I only bring that up because I bought a use 270 win Model 70. Best I could get was about 1.5”…. Then had a new barrel for another gun and used the breakin cleaning process on the...

Goat358 indicated he’d like these.. soon as I get an address they are in the way.

Wow!

Thank you Dr Mike! Scottie and Jim!

thank you in advance. I think I’d like to do a 35 Whelen build, but would like to scout my powder choices. Living in Michigan, opening day can be 15-70f so I’m trying to stick with powders that are temperature stabile. Can I get a quickload report that shows all the powders ? I’m likely...

Heavens no. Have been using RL7 and it works nice. 1923fps at 49.1grains.(might have to look that up at home H4198 is the powder I hope to move the 45/70 to. FYI. Updated the original post to mention RL7

I just had a pinch me I’m dreaming range day. Took the 270Win out with a ladder and two other loads to verify. First my first load is RL17 54.2 grains, Norma brass. 130 gn TTSX . Avg. 3103 ES 19 Sd 8.5 Next up 45/70 325 FTX with RL7. Going to migrate to H4198 if it likes it. Ave 1927 Es 22 SD...

Yikes! 4K!? Wow! That’s a fishing expedition! I like the 338 Marlin idea!
