Re: Ballstics help

3100 fps would translate to about a 289" drop at 1000 yards if using a 200 yard zero. You'll need a chronograph. Guessing your variables will not work while shooting 1000 yards. Even when you think you have it dialed in, a little barrometric pressure change will throw it all off at 1000 yards. It's ...

Re: Ballstics help

ballistic coefficient is .433 not too shabby.....
assuming a muzzle velocity of 3000fps and a 200 yard zero, your bullet will drop approximately 312 inches at 1000 yards.

If you're dead set on shooting 1000 yards with your 270, try a berger in the 150 gr range.

Re: reloading ?

You may find that you need to size the body as well after 3 or 4 firings, as the body continually grows. Also you may experience some case head swelling that your die cannot cure. This is common in all belted magnums. this website explains it well: http://www.larrywillis.com/ look at the section bel...

Re: A WHOLE BUNCH OF RELOADING QUESTIONS

in reference to your scale and powder measuring: I agree with SS that your scale is defective- send it in! tip: When using a digital or manual scale- never remove powder to get to your desired weight, if you go over your desired amount, start over. tricklers are especially handy in this area. in ref...

Re: Do I need a new stock?

shoot it first, some rifles respond well to a pressure point (remingtons commonly shoot better with it).
with that said, a synthetic will be superior for WA state conditions as the wood changes immensly with humidity.
