Thanks everyone for your impute and comments. Like I said I have used RL19 in the 30-06, similar case and the 6.5x55 which for me does really well. I was kind of keeping it just for that cartridge, but having enough I think I will give it a try in the 270, probably with 130 and 140 gr bullets...
I am sorry for the loss of your mother-in-law. Can totally relate to what you're saying. The same holds true for my family on each of my parents' side. My father-in-law is 90 going on 91 who was a kid during WW2 and served in the Army after Korea. Kids today have missed out not getting to know...
Didn't want to hijack the other post on 270 win but was wondering if anyone has used RL19 in the 270 win? I have in the 30-06 with good results, about same case size but never got around to trying it in the 270. Let me know what your results have been. thanks, Dan.
Hey Bruce I can't find my reciet but it's a EGW,EGE something like that. Here's some pictures might help. I like it. Works fine. Looks ok and serves my purpose.
Looks good Guy. When I bought my Ronin, it wasn't available for the plate and red dot, so I had an adapter put in the rear sight dovetail and mounted one. Not as close to the slide as yours but works. Springfield did well on their upgrade. Good shooting also.
I'm a little different, maybe a lot depending on who you ask but my first choice given the velocity would be the 168 BT followed by the 180 AB. That BT will hold up since you're not likely to be running it at speeds that exceed its optimum range plus will give you some less drop than the 180...
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. There are some outstanding looking benches and ideas that you will be able to have a great loading bench and storage area.
I agree with the others that having the rifle in hand is what works the best. Powders mentioned are good so is IMR4831. Has worked well in 4-5 270s I've personally loaded for. Being your father's friend is that far away, and it was mentioned try some factory loads, how about finding someone...
Neat looking old shell boxes there Cloverleaf. I used to kind of collect them but have reduced my collection quite a bit. Good of example of back in the day.
What I can find out this would seem to offer a good bolt action rifle in 35 Whelen at a reasonable price not having to go the donor route-reboring, re-barreling or high prices for Remington models. Time will tell.
A friend of mine texted me an ad for this and I didn't know it existed. Anybody know, seen, handled one of these? I searched CVA website and read about it. Just wondered if, what any of you guys had to say. Friend is interested in it.
