.270 WIN
I haven't been here for a while and I didn't want everyone to think I lost interest or anything...
I've been reloading my 30-30 cases and trying to go to the range every week (more like every couple of weeks). I've decided I was getting too wrapped up trying to find the perfect load, so instead I've just picked a good performing load and am working with that. My current formula is 1.9cc (using the Lee dipper) of IMR4895 (that works out to 29gr), CCI 200 primers and Speer #2011 150gr flat nose bullets. I use the Lee Collet die set plus their Factory crimper. I end up with some mighty nice looking rounds that also shoot pretty well.
My shooting is improving (this rifle is the first firearm I've had in 40+ years) and if I take my time and concentrate on doing everything right I can usually get the bullets to go where I want them. I'm having problems with the scope I'm using, the central dot is just too big, it completely conceals the center of the target. After Christmas I'm going to try and get something else with more magnification so I can actually see the bullseye.
Anyway, this is from my latest trip to the range, shot at 50 yards:
It's a nice group if I exclude the one flyer...
p.s.: plus I'm reloading for about 40 cents per round, that's $8 for a box of twenty, half of Walmart's cheapest .30-30s!
