I have a nice 25 year old .270 that is just sitting; nice trigger; 1 moa rifle. My interests have changed and I think I'd rather have a smaller more accurate caliber for mostly paper punching varmnit hunting. I would like a 20 caliber or 6mm; or maybe a 6.5. Is it possible to use my...

Back when I did large animal vet work, I tended to be the guy who cleaned and maintained our dart rifle, used to immoblize cattle for clients who weren't smart enough to have handling facilities. I looked at that rifle yesterday for my old friends, and it's got some rust in the barrel. I...

Has anyone tried this combination for hunting? I just had some of these bullets delivered.... wow are they long. I'm afraid I might be compromising powder capacity with these bullets; wondering if someone has any experience with them. I thought I'd go with these over the 130 because of...

I am planning my first hunt this Fall. It's in Eastern Washington in an area where whitetail and Muleys are together. I'll probably take my .270 and my son will take his 6.5x55 Swede. I'm set for bullets for my .270; I have lots of 130 grain Gamekings, Pro-Hunters, and Hornady...

Hi everyone, I've been reloading for the 270 Winchester for less than a year and have owned rifles for about the same time. I've never hunted but hope to this Fall in an area where there are both whitetails and muledeer (Eastern WA) I've accumulated lots of bullets through estate sales...

I had an interesting day shooting my first handloads for my .270. I worked up both RL-22 and N160 in one grain increments throughout the recommended loading range for sierra 130g soft points. Both shot OK but I think the N160 had a little tighter groups in general. Most of my shots were...

Hi everyone, Relatively new reloader, got started with the help of you all with a 6.5x55 Swede Tikka I bought for my son's Christmas present. When researching powders I settled on RL-22 and N160. Now I want to reload some 270. While I have smaller amounts of the classics like H4831, AA...

I've read about these rounds until I want to throw up. Lots of writing has been done over the past 4 years....... what are people thinking now? Grendel uppers seem so uncommon and expensive, yet I'm wanting one because I already handload a 6.5 Swede round and I have lots of bullets. And it...

Hi everyone, Just got my Rockchucker Supreme kit and am getting ready to load some 140gr Sierra MatchKings for my son's 6.5x55 Tikka. Back when I started accumulating things i picked up some 107gr Sierras..... and I don't see any data for the powders I've picked up...... Has anyone...

I think I can find either of these powders... N160 would be $180 for 8# or RL22 would be $180 for 10 lbs; I have not called to confirm availability so I will take either if only one is available. I'm loading for my son; first rifle; shooting for accuracy at range.... starting with 140 gr...

I know most recommend that rookies start out with single stage presses, but I keep reading about people that later move on to progressives and I'm torn on what to do... I don't really want to get into this with a Rockchucker then wish I'd spent a bit more on a progressive. Rockchucker kit...

Hi, I actually have two questions...... I'm leaning towards Hornady's LocknLoad single stage kit for $300; also considered rcbs. One of the clinchers is 500 free 129grain Hornady SP bullets with the deal. That's about $150. I need to decide in two days if I want to take advantage of...
