Hi Guys, I am sorry this late. Remington 700 CDL in the Jack Oconnor caliber is great (277).
I had the factory remington clip system installed and the 24" barrel makes this rifle complete.

Sure hope that Ruger .270 is good. Just bought one today. May have to trade some loading info on it. :D- tr

Glad to hear it and I think you will like the weapon!!! I am currently trying to work up a load for 130 gr bullet. Once I get my range completed I will work up loads for upto 165, if I can find them:)

Hi vint2, I have been loading the 130 gr. for a number of years and have used only one powder and that is IMR 4350. This has worked well with a number of different makes of bullets. Nosler, hornady, speers and sierra.
I have never used the barnes TSX but will likely be giving that a try as well.
I am interested in the 140 Nosler AB as well.
I hope to get drawn for antelope this year and I have bought some 110 gr. sierras but have not worked on any load yet as I know that I could use the 130 gr and it would work fine for prairie goats as well.

My favorite propellant for the .270 is Reloder 22. I am getting 3200 FPS with 130 grain SST out of a 22 inch barrel

Hi Dear Sniper, The weapons you have show are beautiful but at my age I would need 10 men and a boy to carry it for me.
I just recently bought a Savage FLV and put a B & L 4000 elite on top of it and then a bipod. I am now waiting for Savage to come out with a wagon to haul it around.
I am not sure if you have personally made your weapons or have had them made, but if you made them you have a great talent.
I have not been to Oklahoma but my nephew has been down there a few times to buy roping horses, he advised me that it is similar to Saskatchewan so I know that there can be some long shooting.

sask boy,

thank you...

The rifle pictured weighs 29 pounds...

I built the gun myself and have been building rifles and hunting handguns for 24 years now...

If you would like to see a couple of the other rifles that I have built, let me know and I'll post a couple more pictures....

Hi Deer Sniper, that is a great plan and I look forward to seeing the rifles on line.
If anyone has any loads using 277 in the 110 gr sierra I would like to get a few ideas.

Thanking you guys in advance.
