    fast twist 270 Winchester

    update on the loads. went to the range to creep up on max or near max using Magpro and 150 ABLR. i changed the chamber since last try. with the .600" throat the bullets touch up at 3.89" COL. this lot were seated at 3.50" COL giving .390" freebore. so now the data. my starting load was 55...

    fast twist 270 Winchester

    i have 24n41 powder for the 175 sierra TGK and 170 bergers and a coal of 2.54 or longer. with the bullets so shallow seated there is a lot of powder room. it's gonna take care to get this gun to use the new .277 bullets to work and get the speed where i want it.

    fast twist 270 Winchester

    i used the 150 ABLR bullets because they are long enough to get closer to the rifling AND there are Nosler published 'most accurate' loads. they publish 46 grains of Win 760 as a most accurate load for that bullet. i have a bunch of different powders to include win 760 and 748 so i used 760. i...

    fast twist 270 Winchester

    so i took my 27" 7 twist long throated 270 win to the range for a zero session. i put a Meopta 3-18 56mm 30 tube scope on it. the loads were 150 ABLR and 47 grains of win 76 ,with a 3.44 and 3.54 coal. the barrel has .500" freebore. both coal loads had the same powder charge. as expected the...

    changing to the long 277s is not as straight forward as i had hoped. be careful.

    fast twist 270 Winchester

    yes i agree. get it throated for the long 175 bullets. keep the relative freebore IMO. i am seating 150 ABLR where BT just impedes past the neck. obviously the 165,175 are seated deeper, but it still saves powder room. i am sure i will get it rechambered to either 338-270 or 270bee. time will...

    fast twist 270 Winchester

    yes 6.8 western has opened up the 270 world. my 270win is ONLY for 140 and heavier. i am limited by 308 magazines unless i load a round by hand so i have to use 358 WSM. 35 cal is awesome.

    Cz550 375 H&H 20"ish barrels

    i shoot a 375 taylor with caliber and a half freebore using 200,235, and 270 grain bullet in a 20" barrel with 3 port brake. blast to the side is substantial, but ahead not to bad. it has never bothered me. the occasional tapping of my shooting glasses by the long relief scope is more...
