Hello Campfire.com members. I've been lurking for some time now, finally joined up. I"m impressed with the amount of knowledge on the forums here. I'm a hunter and reloader. Been hunting since I was quite young and reloading for 20+ years.
I've got a couple projects going on now, a Ruger M77 MKii in 257 Roberts and a WBY Mk5 in 240 Weatherby, both need load development. The 257 for a non-toxic load due to being here in California, (home of the fruits and nuts), and the 240 due to a barrel swap, (I shot out the old barrel). I'll post my progress on the projects as they develop just in case anyone is interested.
I currently reload for 223, 240, 243 Win, 257R, 260 Rem, 270 Win, 7mm WSM, 300 Wby, 338-06 and any rifles my friends bring by for help.
Glad to be here and thanks for any past members posts that have helped me with past projects.

Cali eh?
Paul might be asking if you're wearing armor, especially seeing as how you own a .270.
Welcome aboard.

Cali...then GFY With all due respect... Welcome and get used to this. Don't let us chase you off.  Also, especially since you're from Kalipornya, NEVER admit to owning a 270.

Hold on now! You may not be welcome here. You load for the 270 (which is gay) and don’t load for the 7mm-08 or the 6.5 Creedmoor? Talk about getting off on the wrong foot.......

Welcome to the “fire”! And, have you considered seeking psychological help? If not, make your appointment now.....you’ll likely need help! Don’t bring the .270 Win. to the couch with you.....you need to start the separation as soon as possible. If you feel you must have a 270....make sure it’s grains weight, and not caliber!  memtb

Convert that 270 to another 338-06 and your presence here will be somewhat acceptable. I will not hold the California residence against you because I spent some of my life there before making my escape, so long as you intend to leave ASAP.
Tip on the 338-06- 210 Nosler, 53 grs Reloader 15.

What part of this golden state? Ranger, you and I both know around here it doesn't matter. They will be telling him to pack his bags and leave shortly....................... But don't come to THEIR state. Californios aren't welcome there. Geno

A hearty welcome from the Land of Enchantment. (I now say enchanted instead of BS). You must be courageous to be here.
Or foolhardy.
Share your progress but don't mention the 270 again until you have grown a thick hide. You will enjoy yourself and may provide some education for the assembled, unwashed, deplorable masses here at the Fire.
