First a bit on my reloading skills. I'm very knew to this. About 3 weeks or so is all. There ya have it.
I'm pretty sure I found what load my 270 win likes. Hit on it today by accident ( sort of) as I fouled a barrel to try the incremental load development. My other tests were showing me that 51-52.5 gns of Re-19 were getting close. But the ladder test looked like fun.
So having 5 weeks till I go hunt I thought Id play a bit. It's all about having fun.
So I loaded 5 rounds of 52 grains just to foul the barrel a bit. You can see the results. But went on with the test just the same. That target is a mess I'm happy to say. Was a "shoot and see" type, and all the lower end rounds ( 51.5 -52.5) ate the middle out.
Shot 1 was low so I adjusted the scope. Shot 2 was a bit of overkill with the scope adjustment and readjusted. Of course I'm going to go out and see if I can do that again.
But my big question is were do I go from here if I wanna toy with the load a bit? I know what powder and amount, what grain, what primer, what length the case was and the overall length.
I only have the basics for tools at this point.
Tumbler
calipers
single stage press
3 dies
digital scale
bul. puller
Thanks in advance for any input ,criticism and/or advice.
