Time to try it out!

[Eagleye]

I recently purchased on here, an unfired Remington 700 CDL in 270 Winchester.
Did some loading to work up a decent combination for it.

Monday my 2 new Triggertech triggers arrived, so I dumped the X mark pro, and
installed one of them in this rifle, adjusted it to 2-¾ lbs. Reassembled the rifle,
Torqued the action screws, and adjusted the Leupold to be on paper.

Time to find out if this rifle is going to be as good as my last one like it, which I
have regretted selling from the day after I sold it. Dave.

Nice. I like Remingtons in 270 Winchester. What is your first try bullet/load?

140 Accubond, then 140 Partition, then 130 Accubond.
the 140's, I am working with Reloder 23 initially.
The 130's with H4831sc and Norma MRP. Dave.

Good plan, let us know if you decide to run a TTSX through it. ;-)

Buckmastr, what is your preferred powder for the 130 ttsx?

 

[Buckmastr]

H4350 normally but I have been using that D4350sc lately with good results

 

[Slimbo]

Great, thanks!

Dave, don’t be shy to post up some pics of your new shooting iron. The Remington CDLs look great.

Show some photo's of the rifle and shooting results. Have fun, the journey is always the best part.

I've been using 130gr ttsx with 60gr of H4831sc, this has been a good load in my rifle. I got some RL 26 so will be trying that in the near future. Good find on that 270 Eagleye I'm sure it will drive tacks.

Somehow I ended up with 4 270's, a pre 64 M70, a M70 EW, a Kimber MA which is my go too and a Ruger #1B with a fine figured stock.

Well, no pics yet, but this rifle wants to shoot! I was also breaking in that barrel to help cleaning later, so several clean barrel
shots in the groups. Despite that, I have 3 groups here with the 140 Accubond and 140 Hunting Ballistic Tip, that are sub moa.
It was not a nice day out. Quite cool, and about a 25 kmh wind, with occasional stronger gusts.

I did note another thing that pleased me. This barrel cleans up quickly and easily. I was using Butches Bore Shine and KG-12
It did not pick up much copper at all, and the carbon cleaned out completely by the 5th patch. I have seen worse aftermarket
barrels to clean up. Had a VX3-L 3.5-10x50 B&C that needed a place to rest, so for now, that is the optics it is wearing.
I'll post pictures later. Dave.

No surprises there, a great day to be a Remington 700!

PIctures added. Dave.
