Got out to the range with my new to me M70 EW in .270 Win and looking very promising!

I'm a big fan of the BT. Going to use the 130 in my .270 this season.

Very nice. Good load development. Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk

I know the feeling. My eyesight isn't what it used to be, and I'm 50. I might go with a 4-16. I used to have a Nikon Monarch 3 and was a nice scope.

Thanks guys. I currently have a Bushnell Elite 3500 3-9x40 that I will try on it. Just going to be for general big game. Sent from my SM-G970W using Tapatalk

Just bought this beauty. Used, but in nice condition.

Thanks for the info ElmerThud. Heading out this weekend for round two. I have some RL19 to try with the 120BT. Will post my results.

Unfortunately (or fortunately for the chrono) I didn’t get speeds. I picked up some 120BT and 130 GameChangers and going to drop my charges down and work up slowly. My data was from QL, and I did start at the lower end of the scale but I guess not low enough. Stopped shooting when the primer...

Update.... Got out to the range yesterday and I need to go back to the drawing board with loads...lol Loads were a tad on the hot side and had a blown primer. Was using RL22 and the following bullets. Hornady 129 SP Swift 130 Scirocco Berger 140 VLD Patterned like a shotgun except for the 129.

Excuse the request, but would anyone have the latest loading manual from Swift? I am looking for 6.5x55 data using the 130gr Scirocco II. Just wanted to compare to QL predictions.

:lol:

Not yet gerry. Waiting patiently for the snow to go away so I can get out to the range. Hopefully soon though.

Got some Lapua brass and need to pick up some 140 BT. Going to mount a Bushnell Elite 3500 3-9x40 DOA on it initially.

Yes, I believe those are the Professional model. Green or brown stocks.

Very nice rifle! Love the full stock.

I am going to try RL26. Heard some great things about it and supposed to be more temperature stable.

Ok, pics to prove it :)

Thanks for the data Doug. I ended up going a slightly different path and bought an older Steyr Mannlicher M in 6.5x55. I have always wanted one since I first laid eyes on them back in the 80's.

Thinking of picking up a Zastava M70 in 6.5 and was wondering what a good powder would be to try with 130-140gr bullets. Mostly WT deer and thinking BT's or AB.

Has anyone tried RL26 in the super 30?
