I agree and I also am one. I have many custom rifles and actually only 2 factory ones left of which this 270WSM is one of them. I can spend any amount of time required in pursuit of getting every bit of accuracy from a given rifle. As far as seating a bullet to magazine length and forget...

Got my CD copy. Thanks to all

Thanks for all your replies.

The130 VLD hunting bullet heel is above the shoulder/neck junction. .010 jump is where it’s at now. Was shooting 3/4” groups yesterday, consistently. I figure if I use the 150 grain which would be seated deep in the body of the case, I will be sacrificing case volume, even if they shoot good...

As I mentioned above I used my homemade modified case to just see where they touched the lands And how far the bullet was going to be in the case. I never load to touch the lands, however I am very close with a couple of my target rifles. I think I might be .010 with 2-3 hunting ones, but most...

I have a 270 WSM that I would like to try 150 gr bullets in. Currently I am shooting 130 VLD hunting which shoots pretty decently, but I’m not overly happy with the terminal performance. In working up my loads, I have used 130 gr BTs and Sierra GKs, but my rifle wasn’t crazy for either...

Thank you. I will try that

I called them last summer to get a Quickload upgrade and she told me they were coming out with a digital upgrade other than a CD. I‘ve been trying to call them on the # which I have always used and Inget someone promoting something. I always hang up b-4 I get the details. I recently looked...

Thanks KodeFore. I have taken it apart a few times. Not too bad of a job. Gets pretty full of carbon though. I’m not interested in a slug barrel. I pretty much keep this for when my friends come down from Canada to visit. The wife generally used it as it is a bit easier on her shoulder...

Just googled it and splits should be at 180 degrees

If the original post was read, I was just asking if anyone knew where the VFG items could be bought in the US. That’s all. Why the questioning of me wanting to try them? It was just a simple question, but I do appreciate being told that I can use whatever I want. If I was looking for magic...

Mitutoyos are very accurate. Beware of fake ones tho. There are many links online to identify the fakes. I’m sure Starrett is great also. I have 2 of their micrometers and love them
