How about a 300 grain E-Tip for 45-70? Barnes has some pretty great mono HP’s that always seem hard to find. Edit: we might be able to afford seconds. Lol

At least you didn’t go French and say Var-jay😂😂

It’s a centerfire 870 that’s accurate. 760 is a fine rifle. I’ve got an 870 that I can run like a semi-auto. If you can cycle an 870 well nothing in the woods will be safe from it, even if it’s on the move. Once the load it likes is found I think you’ll be very happy.

I’ve got 8lbs that’s had 40 rounds loaded from it. I get almost 2950 fps with 180 grain Berger’s from a 26” barreled 7mm Rem Mag. That’s with as much of it that I can fit in the case. I live in Ohio and if you want I can meet you half way on 70 (within reason) for a couple pounds of something I...

I haven’t chrono’d the 140gr e-tip from my 7mm RM yet. I would imagine it’s somewhere around 3250 fps or a little better. 68 grains of RL23 from a 5r 1:8 26” barreled 700 gave an actual 1 hole group the last time it was shot this spring. It’s a 140 grain e-tip .110” off the lands. Haven’t tried...

I will say I got my first actual one hole group with the 140gr 7mm E-Tip from a new manufacture Remington 700 in 7mm RM. The only thing I changed on it was changing the stock trigger to a Timney Elite Hunter. Even with that it’s hard for me not to hunt with Partitions.

As long as you can get a crimp on the bullet with a OAL of 2.26” with a FCD you should be ok. Use the manufacturer load data for cfe223 and you should be fine. Just make sure you can get that crimp though. Wouldnt matter if it wasn’t an AR.

I normally use the 150gr Partition for deer in my 308 Win. I know I don’t need them for deer but there’s no question that they work great. Just rebarreled with a 26” McGowen barrel, and refinished it to a hot blue gloss finish, and put a PT&G bolt head on it. Headspaced with Forster gauges but...

I use the 300gr XTP Mag in my 450 Bushmaster at 2050ish fps. It seems to be a tougher bullet than the Hornady 300gr HP I use in 45-70. Just my opinion.

That 55 grain load with H4198 is pretty stout even for a starting load. That’s what I started with was H4198. Still have 4-5lbs. I backed it down to 51 grains and went to IMR4198 and 2050 fps. Plenty for deer and my shoulder.

Those Scout V2’s are really great shooting rifles. They have the Bergara/Shilen barrels.

That’s how many I ordered too. I got a couple boxes of 300gr XTP Mag’s for my Ruger MPR 450 Bushmaster as well. They sure do work on deer just like you said. I load them both to a 2050 fps load and can switch between the two without a thought. Same Nikon scopes on both really does make them...

Midway has them for $22.49 for anyone that wants to stock up before the Fall run on them for your 45-70’s.

I always get caught up chasing groups myself. Out of my own vanity I guess. I forget sometimes that even with a 2” group, that bullet is going to impact within 1” of where my crosshairs were when the shot cracked at 100 yards. Three best powders I’ve had with the two 270’s I have are SB 6.5...

I haven’t tried Staball HD yet. I need to, I have a good bit of it. I enjoy the E-Tips very much. From 55gr in .224, 130gr .277, 140gr .284, to 150gr in .308 give great accuracy and velocity for me. I haven’t had a problem at all with velocity or accuracy. To get the retained weight of a 140gr...

It’s a little faster than H4831 but it’s better suited to the 270’s case capacity than H4831SC in my opinion. I also love the 130gr Hot Cor. Great bullet. RL23 is a great option too if you have any.

^ This 10 times over. Same load with 130gr NBT. First actual ragged hole group with a Weatherby Vanguard and 3120 fps. Great load with Speer 130gr Hot Cor’s as well.

Both were less than $100 each.

I picked up a brick of WLRM and a brick of CCI 200’s.

Just and fyi. Cabela’s has CCI 200’s and Winchester LRM primers. Have it shipped to store and there’s no hazmat. 10 sleeves of 100 per order of each. Order 10 and they send it as a brick.
