I tried to work the action with my Pierce and every time it would start back in and get sticky. I went to Sportsman and tried a Christensen Arms, Fierce, and one other. All of them did exactly what the Pierce did. I now have two of the six lug Weatherbys. Which one do you plan to blow up first ? GTC

I know when I can't get the exact velocity out of my loads that Nosler/Hodgdon, etc lists in their load data, I get really pissed and just start cramming more powder in there until I do. Then I tell people how stupid they are for doubting my methods. Yep, I do the same, I think I read that in one of Mule Deer's books  I guess the difference in you guys and me is I had no idea what velocity to expect. That's why I called Barnes and used their info. Someone suggested if I want .270 Weatherby velocity get a .270 Weatherby. I had no idea about a .270 Weatherby any more than I did a .270 Winchester. That's why I went to the bullet source. Obviously I'm not as sharp as the poster here.
