    Greetings BillyDixon, You probably have suitable rifles to start with in your safe right now. I started aged 73 with a Tikka T3 Lite in .223, 8 inch twist. The loads were with the 69 grain Sierra...

    Greetings, If I recall the best load for anything in the .270 was 60 grains of WW2 milsurp 4831 with the 130 grain projectile. I believe that this load was carved on a stone tablet and handed down...
