Nice job, and way to be persistent on getting back into the woods without letting your vision problem get the best of you. That is a good deer to cull from the herd, it has one weird looking left antler. Great story, and great great deer.

A very sweet looking gun, and a great way to remember a great American sniper. Ridgerunner, your waiting on your gun is hurting me, can't imagine what agony your going through. LOL I am on pins and needles waiting to see what your beauty will look like, and to hear about how well it shoots. I...

Congrats on the deer. Like your friend, I am too in the 270 camp. I LOVE mine. And congrats to your friends continued improvement. Praying that he will continue to get better so the 30-06/270 banter can continue. ;)

I have handled this rifle a couple of times. It seems like a pretty decent gun. However, I do not like the accutrigger on them. Call me ole school, but I prefer the feel of a trigger when I pull it rather than that piece of metal before I get to the trigger. Then once you get to the trigger, you...

Yes, my rifle has a 10 twist. One other observation that my brother and I noticed was when we used a Hornady seating die. The bullets where never secured in the case. I could twist, pull, and push the bullets right after being seated. However, they become firmly seated when we use the RCBS...

SPS? Sorry, haven't been long enough to catch all the "lingo" yet. Although I think I got most of it. LOL ;)

I am shooting a 270 with a 22" barrel, and with I am sending the 160 grain PT out at around 2725 FPS with RL-19. I don't see why you should not be able to get 3000 FPS with the 130 grain bullet. I would look at Nosler's load data as they are pretty accurate. Mine is only 25 FPS off from what...

SJB538: I have a little chrono time with my 160 grain PTs. I am currently averaging 2725 FPS at the muzzle using 53.5 grains of RL-19 powder and Federal 210M primers. Hope to get more time behind the chrono sometime this fall, and if that average changes, I will let y'all know. Good luck to...

I thought it was kind of strange with the inconsistent shots I was getting with the SSTs, and then to have the unimpressive result on the deer. My suspicions were confrimed when I caught the bullet. I also thought the same thing about how heavy these 160s are, but if my gun loves them as much...

I am the newbie here today. I have been hunting for at least 25 years. I only hunt whitetail deer with the biggest being 130 lb 8 pointer that has an 18" spread (taken back in 1996). I was taught to shoot a Remington 12 gauge, then I went to a Thompson Center .50 cal Hawken muzzleloader, then to...

Several years ago, my brother and I got started in reloading. I started out trying the Hornady SST 150 grain bullet. I got decent groupings of 2 inches or less, but there would be no constancy with the shots (same powder, primer, etc.. in each round). I then shot a deer with on of the rounds...
