    Greetings blip and all, I have worked with the 6.5-06 quite a bit and it is a great cartridge. It is, however, a handloading proposition and not for the novice either. It was briefly a factory...

    RUMPY liked post by grandpamac On thread : Tikka T3 .270 with 130gn interlocks
    Greetings Westie and all, One of the advantages of being an aging retiree (and those advantages are in short supply) is that you have time to follow things that interest you more. Today that was...

    Greetings All, In 1925 the .270 was a big step up from contemporary .30-06 army loads with a 150 grain projectile at around 2,700 fps but few seemed to have noticed at the time. I don't know what...
