It’s a 9 pounder, and the recoil gets your attention! I’m certainly not good for more than 20 to 30 (30 is pushing it) rounds at a sitting with full house loads. I’d prefer to keep the round count under 10…..as the shoulder is pretty sore the next day! It’s shot very little with full house loads…..that’s what light loads in it and small bore rifles are for! memtb
Found out long ago that, for me, precision field shooting drops off when recoil gets in the 20's.
The .270/150 gr./2800 fps. is an all day load for me in an 8.5 lb rifle.
The .30/180 gr./2700 fps. is not.
Can still shoot it pretty well, same as the 9.3mm/286 gr., but not with the precision necessary for < 1.5 MOA in the field.
So, was thinkin' to speed up a high BC .277" 150/165 gr. using the .270 Win. case, or find a suitable 6.5mm cartridge.
The 6.5x55mm can't match it to 600 yards.
The 6.5 PRC will, but the fat case is problematic in the candidate M700 rifle.
