I bet I can borrow a reamer. Might need to rent the neck/throat reamer. Dies will be expensive unless I find a used set of Redding bushing dies. As popular as the CM is, I doubt I'll get them cheap.

So if I bush up a 6 or 6.5 CM reamer, go in to headspace on 300 Savage gauge (I have an abundance of 300 Sav brass and very little 22-250 and no 250 Sav). Neck down the brass and fireform. ?? ...

This is going on a SR Mauser. If there is ever a hint the the 270 CM will be standardized, I don't want high pressure ammo finding its way into this gun.

I want to use a 270 barrel that I have on a short action. I am not interested in a WSM. I was leaning toward a 270 IHMSA, but a reamer is proving difficult to rent. I can live with a 270/250 Savage...

OK, Thanx for all the tips.
I don't want to refinish the stock as the finish is quite good (why I got suckered into the stock)

I bought a used stock that has globs of bedding material in it. Other than a Dremel tool - is there a better way of getting the bedding material out??

WC 680 works the same as WW 680 in my 445 Supermag amd 357 Maximum. I haven't tried it in the 6.5 Grendle or 6 PPC yet. I don't have a Hornet.
Lil Gun, or H322 might be acceptable alternatives,...

Last year was particularly brutal. Looks like more of the same this year.
13" since Wednesday

Using heavy (long) bullets will require you to inside neck ream them. The brand of the brass will dictate which bullets will fit and which ones will need reaming. Guess you could outside ream them...

I acquired 2 jugs of Promo, but don't load for shotgun. I was told 13 grs in a 30-06, but don't remember the bullet weight - guessing 150gr.
I look forward to using this powder.

I know Kestrel4k...

Oops - double tap

Big bore revolver or little stuff like 300 BO or 22 Hornet

MO hogs must be different than TX hogs. My friend and I took 6 out of this sounder of about 20. They came back to the same feeding spot almost like clockwork. Actually more joined them. This boar...

Near Menard. About 130 miles W of San Antonio

I cheated and used J-werd bullets on these

200 gr JSP from a 356 Win. It was a 30-30, but I had it rebored by JES....

About a 35 yd shot at last light. Thankfully the illum reticle made it easy. He dropped in his tracks and twitched for 20 seconds or so.
It went thru this pig and into a little 30 pounder. My...

^^ Winner ^^

I lube the hell out of the inside neck and push 7 RM, 300 WM and 338WM thru a 416 Taylor die. I have to trim the 300 more but all work. About 10% have sloped or cocked ends that need trimming anyway.

I have ordered from Green Mountain before, but when I looked into the Herrett rimless they recommended I go thru Trident if I was only getting 1 barrel. Because I am a little ignorant on the AR and...

I recently had a 1909 Argentine Mauser fitted with a 9.3 x64 barrel. Found dies in the classifieds here (Thanx Harry O) and am ready to start making brass. My plan is to turn off the belt of most...

I have been toying with the idea of a 35 Herrett Rimless (6.8 SPC parent brass). This looks easier and cheaper. Were you able to order just the 2 blanks from GM or did you have to go thru a...

Old thread, but I wanted to throw my $.02 in.
Using 6mm Rem brass it only lasted 2 firing before getting close to having head separation. Because I own a 257 and a 7x57 I didn't want to use that...

I'm not looking to do anything in the 270 bore. Just using the 6.8 brass to neck up to 30 and 35.
