I'm a huge fan of 6.5mm anything from .260 Rem to the .264 Win Mag I just started building now with some friends. That caliber is deadly accurate banjo string flat shooting and no recoil to speak of! This bullet that I choose to start with in my .264 that I'm going shooting next year is a 130gr Swift Scirocco that has a B.C. of .571! I can't wait for this rifle to be done. It's just driving me nuts waiting for it and if it gets done this winter it'll be time to bundle up in the Carharts and head to range!

 When did I ever say that? Just thinking about rebarrelling it with a RUM takeoff bbl. Wonder if I could get the quarter MOA of a different bbl like i'm getting out to this one. But I like to play a bit.The 270 ain't light. 11+ pounds. The 338 is 10.8 w/scope, sling, and bipod. I have the month of Nov to find a cow to test the 338 on. I've got some 252 WC RBBTs stoked up to 2800 shooting in the 5s at 200. Drop chart has been tested to 760 and is coyote accurate to there. I want to see how they do on game. If the season is as my last couple I'm gonna take out the neighbor's lama  Wonder what those things taste like

Roy...
I'm sorry. I thought that I saw your gun on another board for sale. I guess the 270 isn't light when compared the way you did it. I thought your 270 was like a featherweight Mod 70 or something. I didn't know it weighed that much. I never tasted lama that I knew of. When I was younger I used to have a saying, "A missed opportunity is just that" ( a missed opportunity)

11+lbs for a .270 any reason for this is a special rifle that seens quite heavy. My .338 RUM doesn't wiegh that much finished. To me that seems to be a bit much for a .270 that all.

Any of you all try the Nosler accubond 180’s?
I was using the Nosler BT 180’s for the last couple of years in my 338 WinMag with 73grns of IMR 4350 and a cci mag primer and was getting 1” or less groupings at an avg of 3100 ftps I got 5 dear and one Black Bear with these loads with varying results on the BT effects. When they hit the boiler room, little hole in, not much bigger hole out. On muscle mass, like a neck a shot little hole in, massive damage on the outward side. Still I loved the projectile because it was like using my mouse whilst hunting, just point and click. The sectional density and ballistic coefficient are the same for the BT and the accubond, So I’d like to give them a try over the BT. Edit just checked my notes 72.5grns IMR 4350

As of yet I havn't tried any Accubond at all I'm not a big Nosler fan have had bad experiences in the the past. I like a bullet that no matter where I hit them little hole just a little bigger hole coming out . Since your looking in the 200gr area I would suggest the 210gr Barnes TSXBT or the 210gr Swift Scirocco I shoot both and both are devastating on game they are stone cold killers. Shot 8 head of big game in 2 years with 30cal Scirocco's and 6.5mm TSX's and have yet to have one go 2 steps from point of impact most fell on there feet. Never recovered a bullet very little tissue damage and these were at ranges from 80ft to about 300 yards. The Barnes manual recommends IMR 4350 for the .338WM 64.0gr to 69.0gr. If using the TSXBT Barnes has stated it is safe to load above max but no more than about 2-3gr increasing by 1/2gn increments. I have done this myself and found great results in velocity and accuracy. Currently I'm shooting the 210 TSXBT at 3379fps using RL22 and the 210 Scirocco and 3245 fps using RL25 in my .338 RUM. As for loading the Swift Scirocco you can safely use the data I gave you from Barnes I did the same working up my load using RL 25 and the 210 Scirocco. Hope this helps even though it is only my opinion!

Spark,
That was the 375 H&H that I posted for sale. Had it priced way high to see if there were any bites. Then posted SPF a couple of days later. Pretty tricky, huh I really like it but anything in Idaho that wants to come after me can be handled by the 338. And it shoots good too. Hangs right around MOA. The 270 went to my son who can shoot that thumbhole stock right handed and I can't. I didn't want to mess with the stock as I did a good job on that one. RUMLUVER Why is it so heavy. Hmmmmm, lets see. Has a hunk of Fagen thumbhole stock that is pretty heavy. Then I had a Lilja 27" Number 4 cpntour installed. The weight includes Super Sniper scope, Sling, Mounts, Bipod. Its a good carrying rifle and with 140s @ 3200 you can see the hits when the rest is solid. It looks like this:

Here's what the 338 does on pretty much a regular basis with the Sierra 2600s (250 GMK)
Believe it or not Wildcat 252 RBBTs tighten that up just a skosh. Think the WC is a better bullet but the GMK can't be too far off. I have to the end of the month to get a cow in the sights. I'm still considering that lama

Nice pictures you got there. I especially like the the .338 target it looks like the tagets that I get using my .338 RUM and 250gr Hornady Interlock with 90.0gr of IMR7828. I also get those results with a 225 Hornady Interlock and 92.0gr of IMR7828. Good looking none the less. I liked the looks of the .270 but personaly not real big on thumbholes for hunting thats just me though. I will have to show pictures of my .264 Win Mag when its done it will be realy sweet looking!

250s from that rifle, 24" bbl, have a max of around 2850 fps. The rifle shoots best @ 2800.
As well as it shoots I'm scouting for a 338 RUM rem takeoff bbl to experiment with. Following that I'll send it off and get a 30" bbl in the 338 Edge or Tommy. What velocities are you shooting with your 250s?

Never saw one that didn't shoot well.
I know since it doesn't make any difference what you carry cause you don't see elk you might as well carry the lighter 270. How's that, answered my own question.
Linear Mode
