Yes, it is the 24 inch barrel, 1-14 inch twist.

Hey Y’all!! I wanted to show you guys my Savage 110 .35 Whelen project is almost done. I just have to inlet the stock just a tad more, and the magnum contour barrel will fit perfectly in the stock!! Here is a pic of it so far!! Hawk

I don’t doubt that whatsoever! As you said,It’s a sight to behold as well. With medium bores, it seems like they don’t have to work as hard as smaller calibers, along with big bore rifle rounds. Hawk

The thing I like about the medium bores, is that you can see them in, slow mo hunting videos, create a Doppler effect when they hit a game animal. I haven’t seen that with smaller caliber cartridges, other than a .270 Winchester. They tend to make a shockwave almost immediately on impact, that...

Thank you for responding! Yeah, I know it’s probably been gone over several hundreds of times already. I just didn’t find many old threads about it. Don’t get me wrong, I know the .375 H&H is a classic, and it’s taken more African game than any other cartridge, rifle combo. I am hoping the .375...

Here are some loads I found for the 375 Ruger. These are quite astonishing to me.

Thank you DrMike. I had a 375 H&H a few years ago, and that was a push, just like you mentioned. I figure, if I load it like a 375 H&H, it should give around the same push, I would think. The old Ruger M77 rifles had very thin butts, and with magnum rounds, it was almost intolerable. Hopefully...

Thank you for the advice!! That’s a really good suggestion! Thank you!! Congratulations on the .375 H&H!! Hawk

I’ve got my eye on a Ruger Hawkeye African in the same caliber. That has a 23 inch barrel. I’m trying to sell my Weatherby Mark V .300 Win Mag to pay for the Ruger. Something about that cartridge and rifle combo just draws me to it. Hawk

Hello All! I finally pulled the trigger on getting me a .375 Ruger. I did my homework before buying a Mossberg Patriot Stainless Synthetic with a 22 inch barrel. The majority of reading people’s actual reviews, and reading a few articles about the rifle have been quite positive. I don’t have a...

Excellent work as usual Guy!! I’ve been putting CFE Pistol in .38 Special loads, and with 125 gr HP bullets, it gets the same velocity as a 9x19mm round, without all of the pressure involved. I can’t wait to use it in my .45 ACP now, with the 200 gr HP’s, and 230 gr bullets. Hawk

Yeah, this guy is always cracking my stones about his “real” world velocities with his .308, and 165gr bullets. I know, for a fact, that my .270 will shoot flatter, hit harder at distances longer than 300 yds than his .308! Hell, I know, because I have a .308! I have mentioned before that he is...

Hey everyone! I’m trying to get some info from y’all on real world velocities for the .270 Win! There’s a guy on another site that always likes to argue about real world velocities, instead of book load ones. He’s always touting his .308 Win with a 24 inch barrel, and comparing 130 gr bullets of...

Thank you jimbires for posting the 65k psi loads. I greatly appreciate it! Now that’s more like the .270 I’ve been reading about! Hawk

I have RL-26! Plus I was wondering if StaBall 6.5 might be a good powder for the .270?

I know this is really late, but why are the pressures (psi) so low for the loads? Shouldn’t they be at least 62k psi, up to 64-65k psi? Just wondering. Hawk

The reason why Jack O’Connor had such great success was because he used the 130 gr Nosler Partition bullet. Today’s premium bullets make the .270 Winchester even that much better. I have a .270, and I won’t hesitate to light elk up with it, and even at some distance, if need be. My hunting...

There aren’t any flies on the .270! It has, to the chagrin, of many magnumites, including myself, taken elk, and moose, without sweating. Back in the late 80’s, I bought my first high powered rifle, influenced by the likes of Craig Boddington, and Gary Sitton, and got me a 7mm Rem Mag. Why...

Thank you very much Guy! I appreciate it! Hawk

I’m thinking about getting a 6.5PRC to use as a light rifle, compared to my .270 Win. Anyone have experience with using it on big game? Is it decent to hand load? Please let me know. Hawk
