Hey gang. I use Hornady spray lube and a pad and graphite powder on the inside of my necks. I keep getting scratches on the necks of my brass? Even new brass. I sent my dies back to RCBS and had them polished. 200 roungs later, Im getting scratches again! I keep my bench spotless. And I'm not...
Hey thanks Carjunkie. I love my Tikka .270! It shoots very good with a few different loads I use. The Browning I was reloading for shot better though.:mad: LOL! Thanks for the load info!
I don't know if fellas give thier secret recipies or not but I'm trying to find a good load for my .308 model seven. It will be used for hunting. Probably will never see a shot over 300 but I still want as much accuracy as I can get. I can't help it!:o Here are the powders I have in stock...
Thanks for the help!
Well, after lots of advice on here and some time at the bench, I'm happy to report that I have this Browning .270 shooting great! I tweaked the die as advized and changed the OAL on the loads. But most important, I went to 55.5 grains of IMR 4831 and have no issues with the...
I'm almost afraid to ask this one. I thought I was supposed to resize my brass even when it is new? I use Win, and Rem brass. I load for a 270, 308 and 243 and I'm just making hunting loads. I've heard to and NOT to. What do you guys think?
.270 Tikka
Most accurate gun I own.
Synthetic stock.
2.5 lb trigger with a Nikon Buckmaster scope. Nothing fancy.
Handloads are as follows.
130 grain Barnes TSX over 57 grains of H 4831. Shoots 1/2inch at 100. I love this rifle!!!!
Guys, I really appreciate all the help and advice. I def learned alot today. I suppose that's part of the learning process. It's just with reloading, learning can be dangerous. I think I'll slow down some and read more. I was trying to start at minimum loads like the manuals say and work my way...
Dang it man. I'm more confused now than when I first posted.:o My 2014 Hodgdon Manual shows 15 different powders including IMR 4831 with a starting load of 52 grains at 2822fps. This is the load that messed up the primer. The 49.5 grain load was my bad. It was info out of the 4th edition Nosler...
Sunray. I'll try the seating depth change. Thanks. I'm second guessing myself on what I read on the minimum loads for the .270 with a 130 grain bullet. I usually use 57 to 59 grains of H4831 sc for my .270s but I had some IMR so I thought I'd give it a try. The OAL length has got me baffled? Why...
I'll try inching the die back up. I started at 1/4 inch but the brass wouldnt chamber in this browning. So I did turn it down some more. Probably went too far. The 49.5 grains of IMR was what was in my Nosler book. As a matter of fact, it was listed as the most accurate powder tested. It's only...
As bad as I dont want this question to be lengthy, I dont think I have a choice. So, sorry ahead of time.:o
Ok, here is what I have. A Browning X Bolt in .270.
1.) New Win Brass
2.) 130 grain Nosler Partition sitting on top of 52 grains of IMR 4831. According to Hodgdon Manual, This is the...
