That second picture shows the light ring that I am seeing. Thanks.

Loading for a .270 using winchester brass I usually see a light colored ring around the case just above the case head. When I first started reloading, this concerned me, but I have noticed I see this ring on very mild loads and even factory loads. I see this ring and no other signs of...

Shot a few more rounds with the bullet seated .115 from the lands. Ran short of time and only tested one powder charge seated at this distance. Groups did get better. 3 shots at 100yds into 1.6". Will shoot the other loads that I have and find the best of the powders. Once I get that, I...

This is the only canister of H4831SC that I had. All loads came out of it.

I am thinking that I will load the next ones at the max length of 3.340". This will put me at .115" from the lands in my rifle. I will see if that makes any change. If I don't see a change there, I will not use them for hunting until I can put some more time in the load. Time is running...

Sierra 130Gr Prohunter Win. Case CCI LR primer

First three were 3 shot strings. The others were 4 shot strings. I did not record the standard deviation from the chrony when I was shooting these. I was just noting the velocity. Now that you have asked me this, I am thinking this may not be enough data to come to any conclusions.

Was looking over velocity recordings fired from my .270 (22" barrell) using H4831SC. With the exception of the amount of powder, all other components were the same. This is what I saw. 57.5 GR averaged 2843 fps 58 GR averaged 2826 fps 58.5 GR averaged 2882 fps 59 GR averaged 2803 fps 59.5...

Want to get others opinions on a boatail bullet vs. a flatbase bullet. I know the boatail gives the bullet a higher ballistic coefficient, but at what range do you think this comes into play? I am thinking the boattal design starts to help at ranges beyond 300yds. I have one other boatail...

Thanks. Those measurements are in line with what I expected.

Does anyone have a .270 130gr Sierra gameking that they could take a measurement of? I am interested in the distance between the ogive and base as well as the overall length of this bullet. I want to compare it to the measurements I have taken of the 130gr AB. I am thinking the Sierra will be...

Well shot several rounds with the 130Grain AB. I loaded several rounds using H481SC (57gr, 58gr and 59gr) and W760 (52gr, 53gr and 54gr). Throughout testing I was pushing the AB between 2800 and 3060fps. Most of the 5 shot groups ranged between 2-3 inches. One or two loads may have some...

Just picked up some .270 130Gr. Accubonds. In measuring the distance to the lands with this bullet, I am seeing that I will not be able to load this round anywhere near the lands and still have it fit in my magazine. Rifle is a Ruger M77 Mark II. This is my first experience with Accubonds. I...
