I’ve got my eye on a Ruger Hawkeye African in the same caliber. That has a 23 inch barrel. I’m trying to sell my Weatherby Mark V .300 Win Mag to pay for the Ruger. Something about that cartridge and rifle combo just draws me to it. Hawk

Hello All! I finally pulled the trigger on getting me a .375 Ruger. I did my homework before buying a Mossberg Patriot Stainless Synthetic with a 22 inch barrel. The majority of reading people’s actual reviews, and reading a few articles about the rifle have been quite positive. I don’t have a...

Excellent work as usual Guy!! I’ve been putting CFE Pistol in .38 Special loads, and with 125 gr HP bullets, it gets the same velocity as a 9x19mm round, without all of the pressure involved. I can’t wait to use it in my .45 ACP now, with the 200 gr HP’s, and 230 gr bullets. Hawk

Yeah, this guy is always cracking my stones about his “real” world velocities with his .308, and 165gr bullets. I know, for a fact, that my .270 will shoot flatter, hit harder at distances longer than 300 yds than his .308! Hell, I know, because I have a .308! I have mentioned before that he is...

Hey everyone! I’m trying to get some info from y’all on real world velocities for the .270 Win! There’s a guy on another site that always likes to argue about real world velocities, instead of book load ones. He’s always touting his .308 Win with a 24 inch barrel, and comparing 130 gr bullets of...

Thank you jimbires for posting the 65k psi loads. I greatly appreciate it! Now that’s more like the .270 I’ve been reading about! Hawk

I have RL-26! Plus I was wondering if StaBall 6.5 might be a good powder for the .270?

I know this is really late, but why are the pressures (psi) so low for the loads? Shouldn’t they be at least 62k psi, up to 64-65k psi? Just wondering. Hawk

The reason why Jack O’Connor had such great success was because he used the 130 gr Nosler Partition bullet. Today’s premium bullets make the .270 Winchester even that much better. I have a .270, and I won’t hesitate to light elk up with it, and even at some distance, if need be. My hunting...

There aren’t any flies on the .270! It has, to the chagrin, of many magnumites, including myself, taken elk, and moose, without sweating. Back in the late 80’s, I bought my first high powered rifle, influenced by the likes of Craig Boddington, and Gary Sitton, and got me a 7mm Rem Mag. Why...

Thank you very much Guy! I appreciate it! Hawk

I’m thinking about getting a 6.5PRC to use as a light rifle, compared to my .270 Win. Anyone have experience with using it on big game? Is it decent to hand load? Please let me know. Hawk

How does Trudeau keep getting elected as Prime Minister? He’s all about stepping on the little guy and taking rights away one bit at a time, until eventually, there aren’t any rights at all. Hawk

I always like shooting events that you just get to know the other people. Man! I’ve always dreamt of owning a double rifle in a Safari cartridge. I think 470 would be the highest. But, I think I’m going to enjoy my 9.3x62 a lot more. Not as much recoil. But after 35 rounds, I’m sure it’s quite...

Did everyone that shot the course use full power loads? Wow! I didn’t know there were any cartridges that would make a .375 H&H look small!! LOL Hawk

My dad is the one who got me started reloading. He did his own .30-06, and 12 ga. shotshells when I was growing up. As far back as I can remember, I saw a shotgun reloading press in his den, or in the basement.

That’s a great article! I have bought 2 of the Lee Classic Loaders recently while you were working with Gavin. I have one for my .308, and .270. They are pretty cool ways of loading if you ask me! Hawk

I was wondering if any of the other contributors in your group had a 9.3x62? I would be very interested to see that cartridge, rifle combo featured at some point. Hawk

Happy belated birthday DrMike! You’re one in a million! Thank you for all that you have done for me and everyone else. Hawk

It does have its advantages at times. Hawk
