RL-16 and Var-Get

[elkhunternm]

My son is wanting to use the .270 Ingwe for his cow elk hunt in December,so I loaded up some 130 grain Swift A-Frame and RL-16.....

Going to try the 44.0 grain RL-16 load again. Will do so after my deer hunt next month.

Now the Var-Get,I have been asked to kill a certain mule deer on private property and since the shot is most likely going to be 100 yards or less,I was going to use the same load that my son was going to use for his cow elk hunt. I had some Var-Get and 130 grain Sierra Pro -Hunter loaded up and decided to shoot those since I was at the range.

Going to use the 38.0 grain of Var-Get for the deer hunt.

For size reference,the .270 Winchester is on the left and the .270 Ingwe is on the right.

Yeah, there are some loads that will definitely work for you! The Swift A-Frame is one of my favourite bullets for tough game. It just flat works. Nothing wrong with the Sierra Pro-Hunter, either.

Looks like a necked down 7X57. Am I close ?

Gunner46,yes it is a 7x57 necked down or a .257 Roberts necked up.
