I loaded up a couple rounds to try with a 140 grain hornady bthp, Winchester brass and wlrm primer. 60 grains is what I tried initially and only got in the high 2700 fops range. It was noticeably less recoil and noise compared to my usual loads using supreme 780, reloader 17, 22 and 4451. The...

Just saw this on Facebook that winchester will be releasing something new tomorrow! I wonder what it could be? A new line of shotguns? Maybe a budget rifle to compete with the ruger American? Can't wait to find out!

I bought a Ruger Hawkeye Predator in 223 a month ago. I had a model 77 mark II prior to that and had a load worked out using the 60 grain partition that shot well. 26 grains of H4895 and a win primer. Tried this load in my new rifle and it shoots terrible, like 4-5" groups at 100! So I switched...

I picked up a pound of reloader 17 today. I will mainly be using 150 grain hornady sst and sp bullets, but noticed there is no load data on their site for 140 grain bullets. I also have 140 grain BT's and accubonds, why no data for the 140's?

I am still having trouble with FL sizing in some of my 270 wsm cases. I am using winchester brass and lee dies. Some of my cases just won't re-size properly, I tried turning my die down gradually until it was almost a full turn past the shell holder and still they won't chamber in my rifle. It...

Just picked up a pound of this new powder today, has anyone tried it yet? It looks to give excellent velocities in the 55 and 60 grain bullet weights in .223, which is what I shoot the most of. Supposed to prevent copper fouling as well, which isn't much of a concern in my rifle anyway, but is a...

Shot a nice 8 point whitetail this morning while still hunting into my spot just as a snow storm was hitting. I hit him in the neck face on at only 10 yards with my x bolt .270 wsm with a 140 gr BT. He collapsed right in his tracks and hardly even twitched. Still can't believe I got so close to...

I am fairly new to loading for this caliber and seem to be having a few issues with re sizing my cases. I am using lee dies, winchester brass and a lee breach lock challenger press. As an example, if I size 10 cases, sometimes I will get one that won't chamber, it requires another run through...

I have had good luck with win supreme 780 in my 130 BT loads, but it is not working with the 150 grain sst. I have IMR 4350, H4350 and win 760 on hand as well. Out of those powders which would be my best bet, I'm hoping to not have to try all three.

Well, I screwed up about a dozen rounds of 270 wsm. Looks like I didn't have my bullet seating die adjusted properly and crushed the shoulders. I tried to pull them with my RCBS hammer but the wsm cases are too fat and won't fit. Can anyone recommend a decent puller for the wsm cases.

Hey guy's first post here, but I have been reading for a couple years now. I recently purchased an x bolt in 270 wsm. I fired two boxes of factory ammo through it while I waited for my dies and bullets to arrive. One box was federal 130 grain SP the other was winchester power max bonded in 130...
