    Loading .270 without the rifle

    I’ve done load work ups for two .270 rifles in the past two years. One ended up shooting the Speer grand slam 130 using 7828 ssc, F/C brass. That was a mossberg rifle. The other was a custom rifle and we ended up using H4831 sc and the nosler 130 accubond, also F/C brass. I would Not...

    Sadly, I think I’m done with Partitions

    I’m not a pt fan but I have never had issues getting them to group acceptably. Old rifles really loved those short heavy lead tipped bullets! I’m in agreement with the above-try the Accubond and see what you can do with that one or one of the other options. I’ve gone to the ablr in several...

    7mm08 and the 150 accubond long range

    Same bullet I use in my rem 700 and it will be just fine for elk. I found rl-17 to Be the best for me and seating depth was very important. 7mm-08 150 grain on the left after taking down the kudu bull-

    Scope Mounting Question

    The last scope I did-I put it on my lead sled to do the work. It worked great

    Best Tasting Animal?

    Most African game is better than we have on this half of the globe. It is typically lean and in general cooked over an actual fire, so the flavors aren’t polluted by gas or briquettes. I would take eland over anything else.

    Which truck / Chevrolet or Ford

    My brother has a nice newer ford 150. He slid on a mountain road into a large rock., not a lot but enough to be irritating. The aluminum body is much more expensive to repair-two quotes in the $8000 range. Something to think about -

    2026 Hunting Season

    Spot and stalk duck hunting so waders not typically required. I have a lab and a chessie, sometimes I run together, sometimes I alternate which one I use. Really good winter deer country and blue ribbon trout water

    7mm-08 and 120gr TTSX

    I also use it in 7mm-08 with a 100 gr Sierra varmint bullet, bl-c2 seems to work well in this caliber with the lighter bullets

    7mm-08 and 120gr TTSX

    My little daughter has a 7mm-08 Winchester featherweight m70. She also shoots the 120 ttsx and I load it over bl-c2. I use nickel plated cases and over 47 grains and it shoots very accurate. I really like that bullet as well, although we loaded some ttbc 140 for when she hunts elk.

    Will Nosler ever bond a Partition bullet?

    I am not a fan of the partition simply because it does come apart and I dare say it was not designed to do so. In all likelyhood i was trying to shoot them with too much velocity. I don’t doubt their effectiveness and would not try to sway anyone in favor of something else, but they didn’t...

    European mount

    Also a good idea to soak them in a grease Remover-such as odorless mineral spirits-otherwise the bones will yellow in a year or two-

    My hunting video

    I googled Rudolph shooting sticks to find them. Rudolph Optics carries them. They have gone up in price but there was a “buddy” option that makes them cheaper and they do ship for free-no I don’t get a commission :ROFLMAO:

    My hunting video

    Rudolph shooting sticks-I believe made in Georgia. Quad sticks I believe is the other brand. I can shoot very well with them, much better than any brand of tripod sticks
