I've got StaBall HD on the shelf but I tried Grand first so don't have any comparison in 270 or 7mm. I do have both HD and Grand loaded in 25-06 with 115 Partition for a test run soon.

Came across this article, thought it interesting. You can google the title for the article. I don't like posting links.
I've got a Rem 740 in 244 Rem that I have not shot. I have some ammo loaded for it I just lost interest. I have a Rem 700 25-06 that I have good loads for and have hunted a couple of days with no kill. It just doesn't have any aura about it, its plastic. I have a 760 in 270 win that had I a...
I don't like shooting
Years ago I bought an used Series 70 Lightweight Commander in 45 ACP. I shot it a lot with ball ammo. After a thousand rounds or so I noticed a crack in the frame in the area of the slide stop. I traded the pistol off. Since that time I have been reluctant to shoot a...

Years ago I loaded up some 200 gr Speer hollow points with Alliant Blue Dot that were over 1100 fps. They were hand bruisers and ended up being of no use to me. That was with a 5" Gold Cup.
When I was a youngster we would go to the Valley (border counties) to shoot white wing dove. We would just pull off on the county road and go at it. You could also hunt on some of the larger ranches by giving the foreman beer or other such beverages. Oilfield people like my dad knew most of...
I think a Leupold VX- Freedom 4x-12x would suffice and it will give reasonable eye relief when set a far back as will go on the Ruger #1. It's also in your price range.
