For the last 4 years my hunting has been by proxy. Helping friends in exchange for deer meat. But this year I went back to the bench with my .270Win and had me some tack driving rounds......3 rounds/100yds, 3/4" group, 2 holes. Our gun season opens the Saturday before Thanksgiving. On the...

Bullet wish list???? Oh, yeah.......... Wish I could get a Nosler 130gr combo Partition/Ballistic tip in .270.

I don't know for sure, Hunter, but this maybe a solution looking for a problem. While I haven't ever actually done a "soak" test, have used rounds in some pretty extreme environments without any problems. SE Alaska is a rainforest, temperate not tropical and in the late 70's early 80's did a...

In the accuracy side, if the outside dimensions are the same but the weight is different then that means either a higher density in the metal or the thickness varies. In either instance, consistence will be effected. To what extent, I wouldn't claim to know, but I'm sure someone does or has...

Thanks Doc, I'll remember that about the fabreeze. As for being obnoxious.........never really seemed like the smart thing to do around a bunch of folks with guns. So mostly I don't do that.

Thanks Joel. Yeah, the venerable '06...........IMHO......probably the most versatile and cost effective round out there. Most everybody I know who hunts has or had an '06. Had a few myself. My first hunting gun was an old mauser that had been sporterized and chamber for the '06. My dad got...

Yep, whitetail here in MS. The lighter hollowpoints(if I can put together some accurate loads) will be used for coyotes and foxes. I manage/work a small hobby farm and both are a problem. I forgot to mention, I'm opinionated, ugly, and sometimes I don't smell so good.

To this forum but not to reloading. Been reloading since 1976. Never messed with any wildcats, but have reloaded/shot a wide variety of rounds. Currently I'm a one-trick-pony. Reloading for a .270Win. on a Howa 1500 action with a 22" barrel. My current accuracy/hunting load is 55gr. IMR...
