First, welcome to the forum. I’m partial to the 270 Win and have 2 of them. Your 4350 will treat you very well with either 130, or 140 grain bullets. You’ll get a lot of enjoyment from your new rifle for years to come, and the 270 Win just flat works.

I use E-Tips in .224, .277, .284, and .308 calibers. I’ve found that they perform best with slower powders. Slower than usual burn rates have let me get higher velocities before pressuring out. Nothing crazy slow, just a couple steps slower on the burn rate chart. They have also seemed less...

I have the Hornady collet puller and like it fine. No complaint from me.

I got lost on that same road some time ago. I think I need to stop and ask directions. Lol

The two 7mm RM’s I have aren’t too bad. One has an X-Caliber barrel and pushes the shoulder forward .007-.008” when firing new brass, and a stock model 700 pushes it forward .012” respectively. The X-Caliber barrel also has a somewhat short throat. 175 grain ELD-X’s touch the lands at 3.350”...

Welcome to our group Steve. I’m glad your health has returned. There are a lot of great people here. Many friends. Scotty is one of the best without doubt.

I meant to mention this but didn’t. Ideally I want my belted cartridges to headspace on the shoulder, not the belt. Headspacing on the shoulder lengthens brass life dramatically.

The Hornady comparator is what I use for headspace on all rounds I load for. It will give you your chambers exact dimensions after measuring a fired case. It will also tell you how much your brass stretches during firing by comparing new and fired brass. If you want general headspace readings...

I’ve hunted Guam in the South Pacific. In 18 months I killed 37 hogs and a 6 point Philippine Sambar Deer. All with my bow while still hunting on the ground. No blinds or hunting from trees. I was the Chief Conservation Officer for Andersen AFB from ‘93 to ‘95. The bow was a Golden Eagle...

I start at .020” if magazine length permits. After determining max load or node I’ll change seating depth to check impact on groups. It’s just my rule of thumb though, where I start. You can start longer or shorter if you prefer. Edit: it works great too. My last one shot group with a 7mm RM...

I’ve always thought they were really beautiful rifles. My dad had the exact same rifle, now it’s my daughter’s rifle. Still runs like a top.

I’m so far behind on projects right now I don’t even know where to start. I have this rifle, a Weatherby Vanguard Sporter II in 270 Win, and 2 AR’s from Bear Creek, and all 4 are new and haven’t been fired yet. 45 caliber round ball barrel for my Seneca that’s half finished, 4 powders I...

Thank you Dan. I appreciate it very much.

Oh well, it will end up going to one of my grandkids or daughters.

Most expensive “cheap” rifle I’ve ever seen. I think I need my head examined. Lol

45.3 grains of H4895 with 150gr Ballistic Tips shot really well from it before the work. I figured I’d start there. I also have TAC, CFE223, and LT-32 if for some reason it doesn’t like 4895. I’m leaning towards 150gr PT or E-Tip loads with the added barrel length. Edit: I’m going to have to...

Very kind, thank you.

Are you sure that they didn’t put a 270 Win die in your die set by mistake?

You may not be able to seat the bullet out to your lands. Doesn’t look like the neck is holding enough of the bullet.

You’ll be fine. The pressure limits are to save the BCG as pressure cycles it. You can use a good adjustable gas block and get the same results by closing the gas port completely. Thereby stopping the bolt from cycling, it stays locked forward until you manually cycle it. Your bolt loads will be...
