Year love my a bolts. This was only 68.3 gr. No pressure at all. I’d stoke it up a bit if it was my rifle but as I’m loading for someone else and it is within adi book spec it might cover my ase maybe. Still shoots well within manufacturers spec anyway.
I have been wondering which manufacturers would do this. Savage has a number of fast twist options in .223 (7) and .22-250 (9) for example. I think we will start to see more manufacturers looking at tighter twists, the sales volume of long high BC bullets is bound to drive a change.
Yep its a good idea as long as the loaded round will fit into the mag box when set up nicely near the lands.
There is little point if the sexy long projectile is just stuffed way back into the case....
Plenty of factory rifles have short magazines which is fine with factory ammo

My a bolt is left handed .270. Would be my favorite rifle. I bought that near new one of tm for a mate. Should be good. Never had a bad one and I’ve bought and set up 4 in .270 for people
Iv got one of these nice rifle , trigger was pretty crap I put one of those lighter springs in from mcarbo that made a noticeable difference groups well im using the 162 eld x for 3140fps , had trouble with the scope moving in the Leopold rings iv since put a vx5 on , plenty of loktight and so far all is well .

I managed to get the hells canyon trigger down to 3.5lb it needs a new spring to make it lighter. He’s got it for hunting tahr to. 400m so no big deal. I ran it out to 425 on plates to check dope and it was bang on.
I put the Timney spring kit in my abolt and that made a nice difference.
So what’s the over all thoughts on the hells canyon? I’m things about getting one of the ones in 28nosler that are floating around..... but unsure
ive had an MCarbo spring in my Xbolt since last xmas- fantastc- makes night and day difference.
@stuart great rifle for the money. They are nice to shoot. Good weight, seem accurate and they make them in your wiz bang calibre of choice with a decent barrel length. Will it be better than a carbon bling made out of bits and bobs $7000 rifle. Not quite probably. But it’s $2000. It’d shoot just as good as a $4500 sako 85 I’d imagine.
Hi Boaraxa, what was your load data for that and how was the grouping. Still working on mine but getting a lot of copper fouling at the moment. Have a good load now for the Berger 162 and the SST 154gr just trying to sort the ELD-X now
@FlukeShot grouping is sub moa out to 500y I haven't really done much shooting beyond that range , il have a look in the book latter .
