    The Woodleigh Weldcore 175 would be near perfect except that it's not a super-high BC bullets like the others mentioned. I wouldn't think the 175 Partition would be too far off either. These are made for deep penetration and maximum expansion. Not so much the most extreme range. Not sure how...

    Lol, I'm about to self destruct then. I need to rethink my load.

    Actually, no worries. I need to find nominal performance anyway. I will simply reduce charge a few grains and shoot a 1-shot ladder untilI reach pressure incrementally.

    If you were using ADG, it may have made a difference there, too. I'm using Peterson. I had to go a bit smaller on the final forming neck bushing size on the Peterson brass vs the Nosler brass I tried initially. That means the Peterson isn't as thick as the Nosler.

    I'm also using a 215 Fed GM primer.

    Was your load near max? I may be way too hot. I realize LRT is a bit slower than H1000, but I'm WAY past 58 grains!

    Weight as pictured with empty plastic mag is 6 pounds, 14 ounces. Feels great.

    Ok, here's mine. Tikka with factory everything except barrel. Unknown Munitions replaced the factory 270 WSM barrel with this 24" factory contour copy 1:7.5" twist, 6-groove Ace barrel. This is my chosen load to start with compared to a handloaded SAAMI .243 Win. Both used Peterson brass. The...

    FedEx dropped the ball today. No explanation of missed scheduled delivery. Just changed the date to Friday. That was a driver sticking it to the man and getting some extra holiday down time. Not sure if anyone will be around Friday to sign. I won't.

    Incidentally, I intend to run 108 Elite Hunters from mine. That's why he was leaning towards a slightly faster powder. I may wind up running StaBall HD and calling it good regardless of speed, as long as it's at least 3200. He seemed to think I should easily reach 3275 with the N570, but I'd...

    I sort of have a rifle built. Just got a notice my barreled action will be delivered tomorrow. Unknown called a week or so ago and said they put it in a stock for testing before sending it out. Just guesswork on their part with the load they said, but got 3250 with 115 DTACs running N570 in 24"...

    Unknown called me a week ago saying my barreled action Tikka was finished and heading to shipping. Said I should have it by end of this week, though I haven't heard a peep as far as tracking or shipping. Not sure if it's on the way or not. Looks like it took around 4 - 4 1/2 months to finish...

    Mine in a wildcat (basically slightly modified .270 Creedmoor) shot 1/4" with the first load I tried and Jagemann brass. There was no fouling hardly at all. It was lapped very well. Like any other sporter barrel, I've found it likes some loads better than others, and a 117gr HH load was giving...

    Which would YOU choose and WHY?

    I have initially mounted my Vortex LHT on this rifle and took everything out to do break-in yesterday, but got involved in club business, and did not get to shoot. With the scope, which lists at 21.7 ounces and the Talley Pic rings that are super light. Much lighter than Vortex lightweight...

    Which would YOU choose and WHY?

    So the cat's out of the bag. Yes, I went with the Alpha 1 precisely for the reason stated above. Let me qualify this. There is NOTHING that one could look at on the Alpha 1, not knowing the make, that would indicate (looks like) a Model 700. First off, the stock is an AG Composites...

    Now HERE'S an informed Rockslider!!! (That's exactly what I thought, too, after laying hands on it...)

    Which would YOU choose and WHY?

    I am surprised. NOOO love for Weatherby on ANY of these forums. I really didn't think the Adventure's wood was QUITE as shiny as the Deluxe Mark V. Thought I might actually bring myself to hunt with it. Honestly, nobody will probably like my chambering preferences on the Adventure, either: .240...

    Which would YOU choose and WHY?

    Too darn pretty to hunt with. I bought a 270 Wby Lazermark a few/several years ago (9), sighted it in, worked up a load shooting 1/2 MOA and sold it a year later because I couldn't bring myself to take it to the woods! Hmmm... this might be a clue for me on which way to go.

    Yep. 22 on the available short actions. This a point I haven't considered with the Weatherby.

    Which would YOU choose and WHY?

    Well, the deal was, I didn't know WHICH one I wanted. Lol. I thought I might make a more informed decision after hearing some input. Not sure I made the right decision until I go afield. The deciding factor was getting it for $1400 out the door! That helped me make my mind up!🤣
