    Put together 270win

    I still say that for a load you just threw together that’s pretty good. I think you have a shooter! I’ve got a pretty solid load with Staball 6.5 and a 130gr Partition in my 270 Win. Great looking rifle Dan.

    Need a dedicated deer blind rifle - Update

    As others have said, I’d also go with the 243 Win with whatever bullet you prefer at 95 grains or above. At that range aim for the base of the neck and never track again.

    There has to be Washington residents on here....

    Criminals could care less. They don’t abide by the laws already in place, much less this additional regulation. All this does is infringe on the rights a law abiding citizens. Liberals don’t give a damn about rights. As long as they are able to force their will on those that disagree, it will...

    Do you wear latex gloves while reloading?

    With everything I was exposed to in the military I don’t think reloading is going to be what gets me. I’ll wash my hands afterwards but that’s about it.

    Quail Newb

    I forgot to mention, if you can take rabbits you should be fine. They tend to disappear faster than quail because they are in the cover already.

    Quail Newb

    First, I think you’ll love quail hunting. It’s exciting, they fly like little rockets, and are an exquisite meal. They can be addictive. That said, I’d use the 12. They can be hard to hit and the 12 gauge gives better chances of scoring with a lower chance of wounding birds without recovering...

    Completed transition from Alliant to Hodgdon...

    I like Alliant powders, but really no more than others. That said, Alliant is making all our minds up for us to move away from them. Price aside availability is essentially gone. Luckily I have enough RL powders left to burn the throat out of the respective rifles I load them in. There are only...

    Bullets for reduced recoil loads

    Your friend will be well served with just about any reduced load you come up with for the ‘06. A magnum isn’t required at all. I’d recommend focusing on marksmanship that’s repeatable every time from shooter. It doesn’t come up often but I’ll admit to it. Buck fever is a very real thing...

    270 WSM Ladder Test with Hunter and IMR 4831 and 150 Interbonds

    On the 8th day God made IMR4831. Just look at my powder locker.

    270 WSM Ladder Test with Hunter and IMR 4831 and 150 Interbonds

    Where did your ladders begin and end? That’s not a bad initial neiborhood to be in with 150’s. The IMR4831 looks like it’s going to be promising. Good work.

    308

    I found that as well. In my 270 Win the charge weights mirror IMR4831. Works great. Velocity and accuracy are there, but it takes a little more of it than Hodgdon says. It may work with heavy billets in the 308. I also agree that Match would probably serve you better.

    Boyds stocks

    I’ve bought 4 of them. 2 for Remington 783’s, and 2 for TC bolt rifles. All I had to do was touch up the barrel Chanel’s on 2 of them. I did have to extensively inlet one of thee 783’s. That was due to me adding PT&G bottom metal for AICS magazines, not any short fall of Boyd’s. They look great...

    Cheap Plinking

    They have pretty good deals sometimes. I forget the total but it wasn’t much. I got 1000 M855 bullets for my ARs a few months ago.

    Model 70, 270 WSM

    I made the one I use for 450 Bushmaster. I couldn’t find one so I made one. Then about a week later they were everywhere. Lol
