    270 150 grain accubond

    The mount of RL25 you can load depends on the brass and the LOA of the cartridge needed to be ~.040" short of the rifling or the mag length if shorter. RP brass weighs 205 gr , FC weights 204 gr. , and WW is only 194 gr. , so the actual powder capacity of the WW brass is about 1 gr. more RL-25...

    270 150 grain accubond

    I'm shooting the 150 LRAB out of a Remington 700 with a 24" barrel and RL26 will push them downrange at just under 3100 fps. Loads that shoot at or slightly over MOA at .050" to .025" off the rifling scatter the bullets into 2+ MOA groups when seated near or into the rifling. Don't have any of...

    In my Remington 700 270 with a 24" barrel this delivers 0.5 MOA accuracy if I do my part: 130 Nosler BT 57.0 RL-17 Fed 210 Fed 3.378" 3234 fps 3020 ft-lbs RL-22 runs about 100 fps slower and delivers 0.75 MOA accuracy.

    The Runner(s) Up - All around cartridge

    Don't forget about the 9.3x62mm. A 286 gr. bullet at 2500 fps and a 250 gr. bullet at 2650 fps put the hurt on game. It's like a 375H&H light.

    New chronograph time..... update****

    For my LabRadar system, I went with a remote trigger and a LiPo power brick. No way would I run it with AA batteries, as you would be buying a new set for every trip to the range. I need to spend some time with it trying to measure 17 caliber bullets, but that might be a bright sunny day with...

    Marlin Model 62 Levermatic

    Range Trip - 270 Winchester - 150gr. LRAB & RL-26

    I dipped into my last bottle of RL26 to see how it performed in the 24" barrelled Remington 700. This rifle has displayed sub-MOA accuracy with the 95 gr. TTSX and 130 gr. NBT bullets. The load tried today used some 150 LRAB bullets I traded for seated at 3.492" OAL which has a .020" jump...

    New chronograph time..... update****

    I've been using a CED chronograph for decades, but recently purchased a LabRadar. Part of this was due to the available light available at the local range, as the screen were almost only in the shadows except during mid-Summer. I was able to try a LabRadar before I purchased a unit, otherwise I...

    Car Accident In My Yard

    My wife wanted the tree gone before this occurred, and the BMW dealership had already spent $65,000 towards the removal of tree, so I just had them call in an arborist to finish removing the tree and grinding the stump.

    Car Accident In My Yard

    My rural front yard is a gathering place for cars as they don't respect the corner that is posted at 25 mph and I can easily drive my Honda Civic through at 45 mph without squealing or drifting. During the summer months the local kids turn my road into a raceway and I have been trained to know...

    .277" 95gr. TTSX - Surprising results in a 270 Winchester

    I purchased a large quantity of Barnes 95 gr. TTSX bullets from a commercial loaded years ago for use in my 6.8 SPC, only to find out they wouldn't cycle when loaded with AA2200 (the optimum powder). Then a couple weeks ago I stumbled onto a Remington M700 270 with a matte finish and wood...

    Most fragile .224 bullet?

    The old Reminton Powerlokt HP had thin plated jackets and deliver excellent accuracy in my rifles. Tried them in a fast twist 223 and they would come apart before traveling 100 yards, but they were devistating when fired fired from a 10 twist barrel.
