I went through all of this and I ended up tabling it because I found a good deal (lol) on a Rem 7600 .270 Deluxe with engravings. In another month or so, I'll be fishing again. I think I settled on the Weatherby 307!

I appreciate all the help guys. Going to toss this around and do some research. I have a 300 win mag in a 2010 era Savage Model 111 which does everything quite well. I have this uncanny ability to go from a Ruger G2 American will be a great rifle for a new caliber to lets build a custom rifle...

This is why I come here, you guys are the best. Data driven analysis with no emotions, something rarely found on the internet these days, haha. Thank you for that’s write up, to me it leans more towards the PRC with the downside of recoil and powder charge on the reloading bench. I’d like to...

I had never looked at Fierce rifles before and they look great. Been looking at other options the last few days and the 7 PRC seems like another good option. Creates a little more separation from my 270’s that I have. It also opens up a wide world of options for rifles including the Tikka’s...

Thank you, I think I would max out at 180 so I should be OK. Going to roll the dice and try the new Weatherby 307. The CF one looks great, hopefully shoots just as well.

Hey folks, back here because you guys have always been awesome and helpful! I want to pick up a 280AI to add to the collection and reloading setup. Ive currently found 3 production rifles I could tolerate chambered in 280ai. Weatherby 307 - 1:9 Twist Savage 110 - 1:9 Twist Browning XB2 - 1:8...

Posted this in the reloading thread for the round I was working on but figured this would be a good spot as well. My grandfather passed away a few years ago and I was given his early 80’s Remington 700 .270 this year. I spent some time dialing the rifle in with various 130gr .270 loads for...

Thank you all, still cant believe it. What a week and what a trip! Also, thank you all for the help working through the load over the last month!

Outside of this thread where I really wanted to develop a 160 load, my buddy used one of my other 270’s that I have a great 130gr Hornady Interlock SP 59gr 4831sc load developed for and this was the stag he got. It was an absolute monster.

The deed is done, the load performed flawlessly as expected. Got a Red Stag at ~100 yards, quartered shot, went in through the lungs and out on the shoulder. What an animal!

I think this is the one. I just went through all of my research and the 35 / 358 don't seem to be any current production calibers I could find. The 45-70 I think checks the box, its a classic round, there no overlap and I can get a beautiful lever gun chambered in it. Reloading the round looks...

I forgot to mention a 30-06, I feel like that would be a very ideal one to round out the classic North American calibers. I think I’m going to go with one of the bigger lever gun calibers. I like the look for the 35 Rem / .358 Winchester. Something I can utilize right away hunting the heavy...

You guys are masochists! Ive shot a 375 HH once when I was 18ish at a range in Colorado. I don't have a ton of desire to shoot them again. I think I would lean towards 338WM if I was looking at calibers that hot.

Great suggestions and along the thought train that I’ve had. A 300 Win Mag is guaranteed to be in the safe at some point as I will be adventuring west at some point in my life. When I do head that way, I will spend some $$$ on that rifle. The rifles I’ve been looking at are the Ruger G2...

Looking to get a new rifle shortly and was probably going to target a new caliber. For fun would love some feedback on what you folks would look at to further round out the quiver. I’ve got a classic caliber selection that I enjoy and has served me well with hunting and range shooting over...

OK I got it today. Winchester Brass trimmed to 2.380” 160 Partition 54.5gr H4831sc Winchester WLR Primers 3.330” COAL 2654 avg fps .85” (3) shot group, 4th shot was a windage adjustment to bring to center, 1.5” high @100yards Thanks for everyone’s help, I’ll send a picture post hunt!

Yeah I may have pull some, I had a lot of shooting to do yesterday and I was rushing a touch. I loaded (4) more the 160’s with a COAL 3.330, slightly longer than the original builds. I also picked up a box of AB 140’s, going to run a string of them with 59gr H4831sc today. Unfortunately they...

Well that didn’t work out as planned. Not unusable by any means but I think I can get better results. #3 H4831sc 54.5gr 160 Partition 2637 fps 3.325 COAL 3.5” Group I had some factory Remington Core Lokt 150’s lying around I tested out as well #8 Factory Core-Lokt 150gr 2768 fps .85”...

I’ll post the outcome of that range session. If I’m within a 2” group I’ll be happy enough to take it into the field.

So I went back and looked at my paper from the range session. It actually looks like I didn’t have an errant shot but I double tapped a hole. Group #2 was the 52.5gr / 160gr Partition load. Group #6 was the 54.5gr / 160 Partition load. Was telling a close friend about it tonight and realized...
