Title: Barnes .270 Win Bullets.... Loose?
Post by: phildobaggins on January 10, 2022, 07:44:29 PM: So my buddy just got some .270 cartridges and to my knowledge they're not reloads.

The headstamp on them says "BARNES .270 WIN"

The interesting thing about these rounds, are the bullets SPIN in the brass... there is no in/out play, but you can twist them with relative ease. What's the deal with that? I've never in my life seen this, but I've never been a reloader and have mainly shot Federal/Nosler in my guns.

Thoughts?
