I agree with you completely. Tags are getting more expensive every year because their demand increases as well. I hope I’m around long enough to use up what I have. Some evenings when sitting there pondering this or that, it’s a sobering thought to have more road behind you than in front of...

That price hike is what prompted me to buy 5 more lbs of IMR4831 at $46 per lb. PV sent an email stating that weekend was the last 2 days before it had the $22 per lb price hike. Didn’t need it but bought 5lbs to beat the increase. I’m at 15-17 lbs of it now, something like that anyway. I use it...

It’s not often you get a barrel spun up that shoots that well. They did a great job. Impressive marksmanship as well, great shooting, especially with initial loads. You‘re making me impatient for the 308 Win barrel they are doing for me.

I’m embarrassed to say I skipped right over 7828. Good call. It’s one I always have on hand as well.

Magnum, and Magpro are excellent in the 7mm Rem Mag. LRT works very well with 175-180 grain bullets in my rifles. Impressive velocities, but it’s pretty slow for anything under 160 grains. I’m also going to try Staball HD this spring. I got quite a bit of it over the holidays with a sale and no...

If you have 7828 and RL23 on hand your search for powder is probably over. I love both powders, and have nothing bad to say of either. Both will give you velocity and accuracy. Both are tough to get right now in my locale and I snatch up either if I find them. RL23 is very temp stable, but I’ve...

There’s nothing scientific about my answer for this at all. I got my first “good” job when I was 18. I got on with our county sheriff department as a mechanic on their cruisers and trucks. I made $6.34 an hour plus benefits. I was able to save enough for a new Savage 110 in 270 Winchester...

I use White Label Carnauba Red to lube. It does a good job. No leading and accuracy doesn’t give me any headaches with it. I haven’t tried unlubed In any of my smokeless firearms.

Thank you, it shoots pretty well. It throws very consistent bullets. It’s not hard to cast bullets that are within 1 grain above or below weight at 405 grains. That’s per 100 poured and sized with Gator gas checks. 1 in 20 may be off an extra grain or so. The mold is more consistent than I...

I should have specified this is only to case with fired LeverEvolution brass, and not new unloaded brass. Sorry about that. This bullet mold from Accurate has 2 crimp grooves designed into the mold, specifically so the bullets can be seated and have a crimp groove when used in the...

Remember, if it’s Hornady factory brass it’s .060” shorter than SAMMI length in order to accommodate the FXT bullet they load. It can affect the crimp, or lack of depending on die and bullet cannelure.

It was luck. Right place right time with the primers. $86 per brick wasn’t bad either. Certainly looking forward to the new addition to the stable. Thanks for all the input from everyone.

Well I added another 270 Win to the stable ordering the Weatherby S2 Vanguard Sporter with Turkish walnut stock. It should be here by Jan 3-4. I Love my 270’s, guess it’s time I admit it. Lol. Although the barrel can’t be 22”. It has to be 24”, just my preference. Ala Vanguard or CDL. Also...

Alright boys…………..y’all get in the truck. We heading to R-Kansas and check it out. Lol

I might be able to hang out with y’all a little while if you were bustin‘ some large ostrich eggs:ROFLMAO: Great shooting! Congratulations on a great day.

Happens to the best of us. ;)

Yeah my velocities a very close to dead on what DrMike‘s QL predicted. No game with this load but I’ve taken some coyotes with the 55gr E-Tip. All instant kills.

This is the QL Mike ran for me a few years ago for 270 Win with 130gr E-Tips and RL26 for the load I run in mine. I always try and save them. There are probably a few I missed but I try to only ask once. Thanks again Mike

I wouldn’t touch a thing then. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.
