hmmn , very difficult question .. as a .270 is a fairly longer range rifle, & you state you live in the mountains , i'd go with the 'standard .308 , due to vast choices of heads etc; . my very first choice would be my pre '64 winchester 70 in 30.06 though .. my .02 ( lol )

ditto re handpriming .. that's great with pick-up brass .. a lot of times you'll find that it's better to get those, than from the 'net ... many shooter's do not reload, so you will have a good chance of many once fired .. Good for you my friend ! .. 'awareness is what i was trying to stress ...

you're more than welcome my friend ! ( keep em in the 10 ring ) ! .. as for me , just hit the dang paper ! ( lol ) ...

yes my friend you are absolutely correct ..i just left another posting where a long time member with 2,000 + postings never read it properly either ! .. For how 'you can shoot & being the .45 'super caliber , i'd say if you could get a 'decent range of say under 50 yds or less, you'd have...

why mr. jimmyray you are a true fighter ! .. I do appreciate your follow-up and it seems a person is never too old to learn ! .. THANKYOU !!!!!

GREAT POST ! .. i wish the guy with the hammer smashing primers on his garage floor would read your posting ! .. I personally have been in (3) major combat mine explosions back in the 60's & I know what it's like to still be carrying the schrapnel in my body from that + the burns .. Some...

i just answered your p/message .. please 'don't apologize as it might have been my poor choice of words .. As i've hit my mid 60's now , it seems i forget my own name at times ( lol ) .. add spelling to that too ! ..The Admin's here & or moderators are 'golden compared to some i've been on ! ...

Ok, well allow me to first say the use of the term 'clients' may have been misleading .. they are or were all friends and people in the neighborhood/ town here ..( including a gunshop owner ) There is no profit as i did the requests for my cost in most cases ( no pun intended ) .. You have been...

.. thanks for the proper usage thereof .. I had better pass on your detailed explanation to my 'best bud, who is a GA. 'self proclaimed 'cracker' .. he has been using it the way i did, as that's how his last (5) years of daily emails have arrived here .. I'm guessing Merriam Webster wasn't...

yep , me too ! .. see posting # 6 above ... good info and well meaning anyway ..

he actually didn't make it entirely clear with his posting .. he 'meant using b/powder 'projectiles in his .500 S&W mag handgun with "smokeless" powder .. the recoil as you well know, can be adjusted down enough to report just like a .44 mag' , but still make that 1/2 " hole .. now 200 yds ...

( lmao ) .. some say tomate-o , some say to-motto .. good lord 20 + postings about 'Semantics ? ? .. Then you might as well include : where in the dictionary do you find 'YALL .. i'll bet this poor guy will never post on here again !

oh ok gotcha now .. so being a 245 grn , you'd prefer that over say what i had mentioned @ 275 grn JHP ? .. interesting choice, & did you figure out any span in price differential between the two mentioned above ? .. my point being that one is sorta 'iffy and the other a definite .. I know...

quite simple for me at least.. primer pockets that are so worn out, they will not hold a primer any longer.. 'manual seating pretty much tells you when you have 'bad worn out brass .. instead of the normal 'resistance' it goes in way way too easy .. getting away from the primers, i will 'never'...

that is assuming that the brass in new / clean . i've cleaned oh over 70,000 cases and 'not all once fired' .. I inserted the 'new' (not any prior pulled) primers and some fell out of the brass pockets they were so worn .. I'll just pass onto recycling anything but 'good brass/nickel cases .. thanks
