Hornady has been pretty adamant they want the 6.8 Western to die. Make you wonder if they had plans for a short action .277 magnum cartridge of their own. 27 PRC maybe. 🤷🏻♂️
Awesome. Tks for reply. I bought a Bergara Highlander in 6.5 Creed and put a Hawkins Hunter DBM on it after having stock opened up to an M5. Don’t think that PRC/Saum Hunter mag will hold anything over 2.95 or so. Mainly concerned about chamber being SammI spec and being able to load bullets...
Hey everyone. I am wanting to build a 270 wsm with a fast twist (1:8) barrel. I was looking at purchasing a Bergara Highlander as a donor and buying a prefit from McGowen or Preferred Barrel blanks. Question: Would I be better off building off a 6.5 PRC or 28 Nosler model? Target bullets...
You’d think with it designed around the Grendel they’d make the jacket thinner towards the tip. Maybe they tapered it so it holds together and mushrooms well. Who knows. I’m looking forward to trying the 129 ABLR this year. 120 BT worked pretty well last year. Exit holes were hit and miss...
I loaded up 10 rounds of the 31 grains of CFE 223 to see what 5 shot groups look like couple days ago. Need to shoot them. I also did some development with the 129 ABLR and it shot pretty well also. I’ll probably hunt with both bullets this fall and see how they do on game.
Absolutely love my Bergara Highlander in 6.5 Creedmoor. If you had a 280ai I’d be throwing $ at you through my phone to buy it. Great gun. Good luck selling if you do. I’m seeing used ones for $1250 up to $1400.
Hey all. I am new to reloading and I just shot my first batch of reloads I have ever made. This looks like it’s going to be quite addicting 😀. Not much info out on this bullet (Sierra 120 TGK) so figured I’d post this info for others to view.

Howa 20” in an MDT LSS chassis...
