Hello Folks, I've got a BSA CF2 take off barrel that I would like to use as it is nearly new. Are the threads on this barrel readily compatible with any other receivers? Sorry I can't tell you what the thread type or pitch is because I am really an engineering dunce.... But in other...

Folks I have a BSA CF2 chambered in 250-3000 Ackley Improved. Its a nice accurate solid rifle, but.... When extracting fired cases, the extractor seems not to take hold of the rim all that firmly because even when worked hard, the case barely rolls out of the ejection port. Also - and more...

I picked up 2 boxes of PMC .277 cal 130g soft point bullets the other day. They were near giving them away for this part of the world so I thought why not. They looked like really old stock, orange boxes faded a lot. I wondered if anyone knows anything about the PMC projectiles? They look...

Ok I need some thoughts. I have the opportunity to buy a nice Mauser action in 300 WM. I have not shot a true magnum cartridge for years and I am half keen. Only issue is the rifle has only a 22 inch barrel. This is about 2 inches or so shorter than I would ideally wish for. Truth is I...

Does anyone have on-game experience with the 130g Partition in the 270 Win? For use on pigs or deer, is the experience that velocity is best kept in the moderate range of around 3000fps for this bullet, or would I be better driving them at full speed? I have no trouble getting a safe 3150fps...

I came across some brass in 270 Win. It is headstamped L C 7 6 unless I am reading it wrong. What is this brass? All I can tell from asking about is that LC is military brass, dunno if I am right. If thats the case would it be 30-06 brass necked down? Or did they make 270 brass in that...

G'day Folks I have reposted this thread here in "HUNTING" as advised elsewhere on the forum: Hello All, Has anyone had any experience with the 270 Winchester shooting the 130g Speer Hot Cor in the field on game? I am talking deer, wild goats and wild pigs for my purposes however any...

Hello All, Has anyone had any experience with the 270 Winchester shooting the 130g Speer Hot Cor in the field on game? I am talking deer, wild goats and wild pigs for my purposes however any experience on game would interest me. I am loading them to around 3000 fps give or take. Any...

I have a new .270 Winchester. I have started developing some loads. So far I have worked up loads with 130gn and 150gn Hornady SSTs. BUT... Working up from minimum published, going higher until reaching signs of pressure, I have already exceeded published maximums for both powder and...

G'day Folks, I have a technical question. I have a sporterised old Mauser action. The markings on the left side of the receiver say MOD MAUSER 1897. It is stamped Berlin. Further forward on the receiver are the letters OVS and the serial number. The very little I have been able to learn...
