    Chainsaw experts…..

    I bought a used Husky several years ago. Had issues with it not wanting to run right after using it a few times. Turns out the 4 bolts that held the cylinder to the frame had loosened and one was missing. Bought an upgrade kit with new cylinder and piston that were a few CC's larger. Rebuilt...

    .270 and .270 WSM with 130 grain Barnes mono bullets

    Going to start adding COAL to my documentation. Not sure where it will fit in my spreadsheet (what benefit the data will provide) but it makes sense to have it.

    .270 and .270 WSM with 130 grain Barnes mono bullets

    Thanks! Have both bookmarked and have printed "recipe cards" that I hang on the bench when loading. I go through a bit of a process that sounds like a safety briefing when I get ready to start. I actually talk through caliber, primer, powder, bullet weight along with charge weight and COAL...

    Gotcha. 130 grain is 130 grain regardless of type. Start low and work up.

    .270 and .270 WSM with 130 grain Barnes mono bullets

    No because the cup and core weight and design is so much different than a mono? No because you don't look at a heavier cup and core "recipe" and translate it to a mono? Just wanting to clarify.

    .270 and .270 WSM with 130 grain Barnes mono bullets

    So this leads to another question. If using a mono bullet can the "recipe" for a cup and core be used? If so, do you go up in bullet weight (130 grain copper </= 140-160 grain cup and core) and use that recipe?

    .270 and .270 WSM with 130 grain Barnes mono bullets

    Looked at their web based load data. Only see loads for 140 grain and up Barnes bullets. Got any load data for a 130 barnes TSX?

    Have used the Hornady tipped bullets in the .270. WAY too much meat damage.

    .270 and .270 WSM with 130 grain Barnes mono bullets

    Loading the .270 with IMR 4350 and the .270 WSM with H4831SC. The .270 WSM is grouping nicely at 100 yards with 64 grains and leaving the muzzle at around 3117 FPS. The .270 is grouping nicely at 54.4 grains running 3052 at the muzzle. Pretty happy with speed but wonder what another powder...

    Gas/Fuel Price and hunting plans

    I tend to justify things like this... I spent a SH!T ton of money every month on cigarettes and never blinked. Now that I have quit I say, "I am spending cigarette money". Can't imagine where I would be if I still smoked. LOL!

    Do you remember your first?

    The rounds in the picture are .270 WSM. I have a love hate relationship with the rifle but am hanging on to it. Was fortunate to score a couple hundred Norma casing to load for it

    Do you remember your first?

    Made my first shells today. Been a 3 year journey of research, reading and component hunting. Wanted to say Thank-you to all of you here that have provided answers and advice as I stand at the edge of the rabbit hole. I have to say, I make sexy bullets!

    Once fired brass sizing

    Thank-you all. Will full length size all of them. Chasing reliability vs speed and sub-MOA at 10,000 yards.

    I know. I got a bunch of .270WSM brass off of another site that had been posted for over a year. A guy can hope right?
