Thanks guys. This was my first rifle ever. Was my only rifle for looking time. Harvested many animals with it from prairie dogs to elk. It actually shoots factory Winchester supreme ctbt ammunition at about moa and Remington c ore-lokts just under that. It has seen just about every kind of...
Well it shot and blew the shoulder out like it was supposed to I assume. I would load compare it to other cases and if it measures ok then I wouldn't worry much about it
I found 59 gr h4831sc and the 140 ab to be a one hole load when I do my part. Most of the time about .5"@100. Speed is 2924. Not screamin but more than enough to hunt with. I am currently working a load for the 150 ablr and magnum powder. I believe this will be my smokin fast and flat load. I...
Some rifles have long throats that cause you to load very very long depending on where you want to be of the lands. My 270 with 140 ab oal touching the lands is 3.522" it just depends oj what the rifle likes. Only way to know is ask it.
I have always started ABs .060" off the lands. The AB seems to like the jump in most rifles. My 30-06 shoots .75" at .060" off the lands. My 270 is real happy .110" off the lands and my 300 rum sittin pretty at .122" off the lands. Some people have gotten good results closer to the lands but I...
I use a stoney point shooting rest. They are no longer made but cabelas use to all them as well. The lead sleds are bulky and hard to get a good check weld and comfortable position. Of the stocks I have seen damaged on lead sleds and shooting rests are the people who want to feel zero recoil...
I had picked up a couple boxes a few weeks ago from sw And was loading some rounds for this weekend. Opened a box and found the bullets appear to be blued? Is this just from the bonding process? I have not seen blems or seconds like this. The one in the middle is from a seconds bag from sps...
Sps very obviously states that their blems are only cosmetic. I have no problem loading the for hunting. As the blem in the bullet most of the time is so miniscule that you can't see it. Just recently I purchased 140 ABs from sps. 50 ct for around 14 bucks.ll less than half price. As drmike as...
Welcome ixanadu. I really enjoy loading for the 270 win. For this cartridge I target and Varmint shoot with my normal hunting Load. Thanks to sps my cost to shoot this Load is small. H4831sc wlr primers and 140 AB's. Shoots tiny groups all day long. I like to do case prep after cleaning and...
That's some really nice glass. And vortex can really take some abuse. I called them about my dented up scope. They said send it in and they would replace it. I told them it was still shooting great. They said it don't matter if I dont like the dent and gouge they will replace it. Turn around...
