Put together 270win

[wvbuckbuster]

Few weeks back I had placed ads on here and 24hr campfire wanting to buy a Winchester Mod 70 barreled action. I was given a stock off of one that belonged to my friend Don who passed away in February. He had swapped stocks then sold his rifle. I bought what I was looking for, put in his stock. Loaded up some rounds of a put together load just to get on paper and get a feel for the rifle. This load is way below maximum but grouped well .6in and could be used by the grandkids or even paw paw. The rifle shows potential. Did a ladder test with H4831sc and Nosler 130gr BT. So I'll see how the loads chosen perform next trip to the range. By the way, Don's rifle was a 270win also. I think he would approve.

270 is never a bad choice.

Nice featherweight. One of my proven loads for my featherweight uses H -4350 and a 130 Partition but with a load around 20% higher than what you loaded.

Bruce, I plan on stepping it up. If you would like to share your load, send me a PM. The PT will be another bullet I try.

Neat project in remembrance of your late friend. Good start on getting a load going.

I still say that for a load you just threw together that’s pretty good. I think you have a shooter! I’ve got a pretty solid load with Staball 6.5 and a 130gr Partition in my 270 Win. Great looking rifle Dan.

Very nice Dan. Man, I do love a 70 Fwt stock.

 

[Wolfshead]

Love that stock design
