Skinny Ugly .270 Win Thread

What's your guesstimation on velocity on that particular powder column?

Cricket's.

If these loads are going through the 270TH will there be excessive "bullet jump" since there is quite a bit of free bore? Does that much bullet jump help or hurt your muzzle velocity and/or accuracy?

So I gambled and loaded 85SH 5 shot ladder with Ramshot Big Game. I shorted the ladder.

Shot number 4 - 3992 OMG! Will it?


YES! Shot number 5 - 4016!!



@gltaylor - yes

There is little room for compression since no pressure but velocity flattened a bit. I just might see where pressure shows. Primers look good and no ejector marks on 4x brass.

Gotta try the 90HH's! Cooling barrel right now since prob 84?

Skinny? Maybe
Ugly? That's an "Eye of the Beholder" thing
Fast? yes

The jump is mammoth from it being 700LA 3.67 PLUS the 0.290 freebore! So maybe it would hit 5K in Tikka?

Accuracy will be next at range. I only ran velocity ladder on my property to get idea and now I will get to range for next steps. I may switch over to FM215 for little more juice.

I'm actually looking forward to shots 6 through 9

Me2!

You hit 4K easier than I thought you would, that's pretty impressive...

 

[Muddyboots]

I went with Big Game but now wondering if Hunter might just be tad better. I might get little better fill rate with Hunter. For sure with the 90HH.

 

[Muddyboots]

I really want to get the 90 near 4K. I think it will be close. That will be bomb on deer. Or even those 6' bunnies downunder.

[Muddyboots]

So just noticed TS15.5 hits 3692 with 90 gr TNT with 56.9 gr which may give better fill. Going to give it a try.

 

[joe16]

Quit playing around and put some 4895 in there and lets find out what that sucker will really do.

 

[Muddyboots]

Got none!
