    NewbieZAR liked post by grandpamac On thread : Remington 783 in 270
    Greetings, The 783 has a 1 in10 inch twist so it would be best to stick to a 130 grain projectile for a start. GPM.

    11mms liked post by grandpamac On thread : .308 ammunition advice
    Greetings, So far you have tried three types of ammo and none shot better than OK. Perhaps the next step is to get the rifle checked over to see if there is a problem. The .308 will shoot any half...

    Greetings Blackfern, I seated my first primer around 1970 am still waiting for handloading to save me money. It has, however, kept me mentally active even 8 years into retirement and may help stave...

    Greetings again, The Sako ammo shooting around MOA suggests that the rifle is capable of decent accuracy and does better with the blunter projectiles which have more bearing surface. I did a load...

    Greetings, I assume that the .270 is a bolt action so what about one of those neat little Bergara single shots in .308. Even new they are around the cost of a rebarrel plus they break down and go in...

    Nugget connaisseur liked post by grandpamac On thread : Changing a Remmington 700 from .270 to .308
    Greetings, The two rounds have different magazine lengths so you could possibly run into feeding problems with the .308. It would be better to sell the .270 and buy a .308 or convert the .270 to...
