.270WSM range day

[blargon]

Got this last week, took it out today. the barrel isn't floated, likely the cause of the horizontal stringing...Soon to be remedied, and I'll post the results...

Rem 700 SPS SS .270wsm, Leupold 3-9, 130 gr BT's, H4350

I knew I pulled this one...

I'm going to float it and run some more through it, and the chrony this time...Should be ~ 3200

to be continued...

So I bedded and floated this rifle, took it out for another round today. No more stringing, nice little triangles, but I still think I can tighten these up. Going to try a couple different powders...Shot a few groups, all looked like this...

What did the velocity read?

 

[blargon]

I didn't chrony them today, cause it was raining...next time...

How is the trigger on that SPS ? Mine must of been 5-6 pounds from the factory.

Looks like its shooting very well by the looks of it.

My SPS in 30-06 came with an adjustable trigger, Mine was factory set to 2# ish, I just left it there.

Some good shooting there Blargon! So what will the final load be with that thing, and what are you going for with it this year?

Cheers!

Undecided on the load yet, going to try some other powders. Whitetails are on the menu. I have a few other rifles ready to go, but this one should be good by November...If I still have it then...

All of my 700's came with 6 lb triggers, but I've brought them down to 3lbs...

Notice the change with the free floated barrel?

 

[notsorichguy]

I did, I may not do it myself before the season starts...... But it is in the cards before spring for sure!

Blargon,
My 270 WSM loves R22. I highly recommend you try some 130 TSX. With 68.0 gr of R-22 these are just shy of 3300 fps and my particular barrel puts 3 of them consistently in under 0.4" with a best to date of 0.243"

THat is definitely one of my favorite calibers. Keep us posted on your results.

Thanks again for the help with the pump 760.

Or 110 grain TTSX at 3650 FPS, my current favorite load for a couple of my 270 WSM.

I remember the M70 featherweight in 270WSM I had loved the H4350 and 130gr partitions with .6'' groups also.

Just wondering how one beds a plastic stock like the one on a SPS? Nice shooting BTW.

I use an epoxy that bonds to plastic, rough the stock up, drill some small holes for it to sink into...

How fast does the barrel get too hot to shoot accurately? My Win 70 SS in 270 WSM is terrible.

I haven't done any extensive range sessions with it, but I was actually surprised that after a 3 shot group the barrel wasn't warm at all...
