Hey Buddy. 270 Winchester is one of my favorites. I think that Interlock will give you a blood trail. Hope to see you soon. I'll be trying to get some of that powder, too. I'll buy a hat! Dang right!

Afternoon man! 🇺🇸🙏🙏🇺🇸

Good afternoon buddy!

So, now I'm seriously considering a 270 Ackley Improved. Would neck down a 280AI case for a dummy round to get a reamer made. Many would argue, why not just go with a 270 Weatherby magnum? Several reasons - cost of brass and availability. 270 Win brass is cheap and everywhere. I got 2 new Tikkas just this past week in 308. Roughtech Ember superlite stainless and a Hunter with stainless superlite both fluted barrels. You look like you're doing really well with that handloading and the Tikka 270. My first and still my favorite.

[@alabamareloader]

That would be a really cool round in my opinion and yea you’re spot on about the component availability/cost

[@dhooter]

Cheap?

[@Accuracy1st]

@@dhooter Yes, cheap

[@dhooter]

@@Accuracy1st Ain’t no brass cheap anymore

[@Accuracy1st]

@@dhooter Starline 270 brass is $28 at cabela's for a 50 count and I usually get 52/bag. That's cheap compared to buying Weatherby brass but a substantial margin

[@Accuracy1st]

HEY, I see some snack stix from Weaver!!

[@WayneGent-t2l]

I can't get them volisty with my tikka 270 and that bullet and powder charge but I was using h4831sc. I am much slower

[@ronniehallmark1278]

Yep my tikka also. With h4831 or h4350 I’m mid 3000’s and maxed out but shoots great.

[@WayneGent-t2l]

Wow I am up to 57gn with the 140sst and h4831sc I am running in the 2800 range. Maybe it's my rifle or crono?@@ronniehallmark1278

[@Accuracy1st]

So, what would you choose between a 7PRC and a 270-7PRC?

[@tomromah384]

What size/kind of primers are you using?

[@alabamareloader]

CCI 200 LR

[@johnnorman7708]

Anything approaching 3100 and grouping like that upper left hand group is a very workable flat shooting hunting load.
