ghost,

Aparently you have had far more problems with AI's then I. Now, I have had only a few. 250sava 257Robts, 30-284, may son has a 25-06AI and they have fed just fine. I am one who likes messing with the brass, fireforming, measuring, and all that's involved in making them shoot. Velosity gain at similar pressures has been far less than what some project.

As far as feeding I did learn that building them right is necessary. Get them right - they work right. Bolt jiggling has never been a part of my life.

The 270 Gibs would be far more interesting to me then a plain Jane 270. Because I like the brass manipulation. I seriously doubt that I could take game with the Gibs that wouldn't fall to "Plain Jane."

If I wanted to gain velosity the easy way then I would definately go to a WSM or Weatherby but I do like those wildcat cartridges. Just for the fun of it.

Best to you,

Jim

BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN HIS MIGHTY POWER. ~ Ephesians 6:10

Socialism is a philosophy of failure,
the creed of ignorance,
and the gospel of envy,
its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
