   Greetings Lambie, You have set out on an interesting journey. Data for the 6.5 Swede is all over the place but I have found that the Hodgdon/ ADI data to be close to my chronographing although low...

   Greetings Rn-85, I have been handloading the .308 since the 1970's and so far not managed to stuff a case like that. I don't think it is too much lube as this usually leaves dents in the shoulder...

   Greetings again, I looked up the article on the 250 Savage Improved. It was written by Layne Simpson and he had a barrel made for a switch barrel Varmint master action in 1981. Comparing Layne's...

   You could make a good case for the 7x64 Brenneke from 1917 being the father of the .270 which came out in 1925. Winchester certainly knew about the earlier cartridge. The 7x64 is still chambered...

   Greetings, In the mid 1950's, when the .234 Win and .244 Rem were introduced the .250 Savage (.250 3000) and the .257 Roberts were standard factory chamberings. Fast forward a decade and both were...

   Nice try Micky, You have more or less reinvented the .270 Titus Savage or more closely the .270 Creedmoor. Developed to allow a .270 cartridge that could be used in a Savage 99 rifle. GPM.

    Powder charge also makes a significant contribution to recoil, more per grain than the projectile. The .270 uses powder charges up to 60 grains or more compared to less than 50 grains in the 7mm-08...

    Good point. This is what killed the .260 Rem, that and the slow twist. Can be a problem in the 7mm-08 too. GPM.

    Greetings, Many years ago I shot a blowfly at 90 metres on the old Roy's Hill Range. My .308 was fitted with a 2.5 power scope so I was oblivious to my feat. I was made aware of it later by the...
