    New SAAMI cartridge - 6.8 Westerner

    I was poking around the SAAMI website and noticed a new cartridge I hadn't heard of before on the "New Cartridges" page. https://saami.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/6.8-Western-Public-Introduction-Orig-2020-11-01.pdf It looks like a stumpy .270 WSM with the salient changes appearing to be...

    Headstamp Identification

    Hi all, I'm trying to identify what this bullet is, in Arabic. It was likely recovered from Israel/Palestine/Jordan. My reading is that it was perhaps produced in 1964, and is a .270? But the bullet looks smaller than this, and I don't see why they would have .270 for military personnel. I...

    Common caliber that could kill an elk without being "overkill" for a deer?

    Hello guys & gals I don't have a hunting rifle yet; & I want my first one to be of a caliber that is 1: abundant & easy to find; & 2: could kill an elk without being overkill for a deer. I live in southern Oregon, if that matters, if you're wondering about species of elk/deer. I guess I'd...

    Looking for a new .270

    This is my first post so excuse me if I mess something up. But I’m in the market for a new .270 hunting rifle. I’ll almost exclusively use this gun for whitetail and mule deer. I’d like a classy wood stock bolt action. I’m wanting to keep it under 900. I’d also like the rifle to be relatively...

    I See Why Y'all Like This

    Well, I've been reloading rifle for about a month now, and just started for my .270. Many of you have helped me with powder selection for that load and for that I thank you. As I've used up all my .224 slugs, I decided to use up the rest of my Varget (which I have decided I don't like for .223)...

    Rust Help!!

    Hello all! I recently inherited a Remington .270 Model 700 from a family member and it is rusted pretty good. I hate to see it in such bad shape as these guns were always well taken care of until my grandfather was hospitalized.. So I would LOVE some advice on how to/what to use to clean it...

    IMR-4831 for my .270 BAR

    I like to stay around the lower end of the scale when setting up a load. I refer to four or five reference books and online. I have successfully replicated a "Managed Recoil" load using 110gr bullets; however, the last time I prepared this load, I mistakenly took the min load for IMR-4350...

    Tikka T3X Hunter...left handed...looking for advice.

    I am looking to buy my first hunting rifle and have decided I would like a Tikka. The "Lite" models intimidate me a bit because of the potential recoil factor. I live in AL, so would likely be hunting deer or headed to GA to hunt hogs. I liked the look of the T3X Hunter and it's a little...

    i thought i wanted a .308.

    I'm making a move into a little bit longer range category. Will still be hunting white tails and higs for the most part maybe some cayotes or other big varmints, and hears a lot of good news about the the new Ruger American line of rifle. I shot a buddies 308, and it's a very accurate tack...
