.270 question.

[jay.sharkbait]

Bobcats numbers are very close to mine

I ran it with a .496 @ 3000

[carlyoungs]

Maybe I calculated wrong?

[carlyoungs]

Yep my velocity was 1000 off typed the wrong number

can't understand why one would want to try and kill anything that far out, but ya I'm sure it would. Even an antelope I wouldn't want to shoot that far out.
My load would be the 150gr though If I was to shoot that far out.
My question would be though; can you hand load a .270 in 180gr? or would that be considered too much for it?
I know you can get it in .270 weatherby, but can it be done in a .270 win and not damage it?

When you stretch the neck out about .030" it shoots the 180 grain bullet great!

sooo No then?
crap always like the 180gr for some reason always wanted it in that but never could find any ammo, but alwyas wanted to take up hand loading my own and wonderd if you could or not.
Some guy showed me his .270 wthby once was cool and came in 180gr but the bullet was way fatter the casing I mean than mine.
I want a .270 whtby sometime then and or a .280 7mm 30-06 25-06, 257, 300, .35, a host of others

I'm waiting for Woodland Shooter to chime in.....He loves the 270 Win and has had good long range success with it.

[Firedogg]

700 yards???  Shoot, I can barely make out a bus at that distance.  I'm sticking to the brush.

[Alpine Mojo]

700 yards is almost a half mile.  At that distance, the gun is more capable than the person behind it.

[Bob33]

I would say that if you have to ask, the answer is no.

[Firedogg]

My question would be that if the .270 is appropriate for that distance why don't you see it being used in distance shooting comps?? With everything that can go wrong with things that far away I would want the most consistent/accurate round to shoot that far. A .270 can do it, but at what degree of repeating it enough to put down game in a humane manner.
