    Hi Husky1600, could you share your 270 Superformance load and velocity? I'm keen to give it a try. Thanks!

    Hi Hunter_Nick, I have a 6x45 on a Sako A1, that shoots superbly with anything fed from 55gns to 100gns. The 6x45 is an unsung cartridge and I can't figure out why it has not been commercialised....

    If you have any of the Greek ammo left I would pull the projectiles, dump the powder, ad reload with a mild AR2206H load. If they shoot well it was degraded powder. If the cases are hard to extract...

    Your 6x45 with a suppressor will gain both velocity and accuracy. I use a Sonic 35, I can remove baffles for the 6x45, and add them for the 243AI, so it isn't too heavy on the light 6x45. Give...

    2750fps with an 85gn bullet from an 18" barrel is about the best you can get I think. You might get a tinch more with a suppressor. I guess the faster powder you can get is what you need. I have a...

    your graphite and shot for dipping necks is the best reloading tip I've heard in over a year. I will set up my own this weekend! Awesome, thanks!

    I spent a little time on the Trentham range some years back, and I believe bullets do 'wake up' and 'go to sleep'. A chap I was talking to had 3 different 308 loads for his shooting - all with the...

    dude, stay with the .270, load it with 150gn high BC boat tails and with RL26 you can get 3150fps ..... that will match a PRC any day. Manufacturers came late to the 270 with high BC bullets, but...
