I'm dipping my toe into reloading. I'm very much a data driven guy. Here's my data:
- '05 production Ruger MKII M77 stainless, sporter, 22"
- seeking load/component recommendations for 130gr hunting round
- unsure of bbl twist (1/10?)
- fewer than 100 rds through this rifle. Hasn't been used in years.
- Nosler partition BT 130gr loads suck
- Federal blue box 130gr and 150gr did well enough
I have about 80 pieces of once-fired federal brass. I plan on hunting whitetail out to 700 yards (a guy can dream...). I'm used to killing deer with .308 and .243 so a .270 is probably overkill.
I understand that a .270 is finicky depending on the rifle/bullet/twist/bbl/powder
I'm especially curious in hearing from guys with the same/similar rifle.
Thanks all!!
