OP jorgeI Campfire 'Bwana Joined: Jun 2003 Posts: 42,617 Orange Park, Florida	Thanks for all the inputs, gents. Rifle is shooting them very well and at least I know in a pinch I can go to the nearest Wal Mart and get ammo that works!

Naturally, being the OCD type, I just ordered some 130 TTSXs and looking on the Barnes site for load data. Anybody?

Your only chance to reclaim your manhood from the ownership pf a .270 is to sell it to me. I'm a giver. Price negotiable, as long as it's less than what you paid. If something on the internet makes you angry the odds are you're being manipulated

Hilarious Jörg! Very nice! Everyone knows pre 64's don't shoot and the new rifles are "better"......snork.. And with a tired old 4X scope no less...... The 280 Remington is overbore. The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

hatari Campfire Ranger Joined: Oct 2004 Posts: 23,368 Atlanta	Originally Posted by jorgeI Thanks John. Reason I'm asking I picked up a very nice pre-64 Featherweight in (gay) 270 made in 57 with an old Leupold 4X and some four boxes of new 130 PPs that it plunks into tiny groups. I'd love to take it to Idaho and I don't have that much time (or desire at the moment) for load development with 130 Triple Shocks..of course Yes, and between you and Pugs this rifle buying crap got contagious. Curse you both. Mine arrives this week. NOS New Haven built Model 70 FWT 6.5 x 55. Like I need another rifle??? Enablers of the first degree. "The Democrat Party looks like Titanic survivors.
