I just bought some Federal Fusion ammo so I could use it and save the brass for reloading. I am hoping a 260 grain gas checked bullet downloaded to 454 velocities will be accurate in it. I purchased this barrel for my Grandson and I am sure he can't handle the 460 recoil at his size and...
I got one of the pro hunters a while back used but great shape in a 270. Shoots moa or better and added a 300 win mag barrel for it. Action and barrels are ss. Had the action reworked at EABCO and it does even better. Had some decent shipping deals today an I ordered a 460 barrel to the list. I...
Sparkyv I only had to throw all the charged 270 cases out. Hadn’t seated the bullets yet. This is one mistake I just knew I’d never make. But even after years of doing this I did it.
For many years reloading I put one canister of powder next to dispenser. Electronic or else. Was loading 300 win mag an switched over to 270 and didn’t see the older 1 lb of H1000 behind my Hornady powder charger. Used H4831 Sc for the 270 and got the two powders mixed up. Two new containers...
I’ve been all over gun broker and cheapest I can find on buy it now is at $1199. Can’t find any web sights in $900 range. Where did anyone see these at those prices.
Nice to know that lower price. Even what I had saw on line was closer to 1250. Our gun store is about the same out the door with tax. Glad I asked here first. I’m not looking for light. Just not 12 lb Sendero heavy.
I’m a huge Tikka and Sako fan but I’ve been eyeballing the Winchester WE in 300 WSM at my local gun shop. I’ve got a 338 Remington Ultra Mag in a Sendero. Way too heavy for totin around gun. Got my 300 Win mag barrel for my TC encore but hate taking the 270 barrel on and off. I had the 300 WSM...
I’d have to disagree on the hunting rifle to be only so accurate. I don’t expect 5-10 round clover leafs but 3 at a minimum. Cold barrel of course. The 260 got some bad reputation for the 9 twist it originally came in. In my own experience I get more velocity from the 260. Not a great lot but...
I started with the Tikka 260 CTR. It was so accurate it was almost boring to reload. My first 1000 yard rifle. I’ve got the same in the 6.5 cm and I do like it but the 260 all the way for me. I don’t think I’ve used 260 brass more than a handful of times. Bought 243 brass and easy enough to...
I’d go with a good barrel scrubbing. I shoot a lot of bench rifles and am a stickler for groups. I might pull a bore snake through every 100 rounds or so with a dry patch. When sub moa groups open up I do a thorough cleaning with Butchs Bore Shine. Then plan on wasting 10 bullets or so to get...
I cast for all my straight wall calibers. I bought a mold from NOE for my 45-70 but my Ruger #1 likes .460 gas checked. Marlin shoots the same but not as fast or loaded as hot. I started with a !yman 10 lb pot. Used a ladle and camp stove. Bought a hot plate to keep my mold warm. I water quench...
I’ll have to try some. In the 6.5 I need all the velocity I can get as long as accuracy doesn’t suffer. Buying it used and the barrel as clean as it was I’ve no idea if it had any use or no use. I sent the action off today so about 10-14 days before I get it back with a decent trigger. I’m going...
Horsey300, I use a lot of 4451 but it’s dedicated to a 300wsm. I never thought of using it in a cm. If I’m not mistaken I think the burn rate is real close to 4350.
I’ve got some Reloader 17 and 19. That and imr 4350 was my next try. Curious of range you shot accubonds at and damage they done. I hit one with a 7-08 this year with a 120 Barnes ttsx bullet I’d reloaded at about 85 yards. Got one lung and heart but had a 120 yard run with him. Left lots of...
So far with all these Tikkas they have preferred a jump to the lands. I started out short and worked up long enough to have to single feed. Shorter book data length done better for me. I’m out of the 130 accubonds to try but I’m thinking the ogive was fatter closer to the tip of the bullet...
