This is my 27. It is a 270 IHMSA. Had it built on a Marlin XS7. The cases originally were made from 300 Savage brass but I use 6.5 Creedmoor brass.

I'm going to have a guess at it too. Maybe the K is for Kurtz. Short 6.5 round made on a belted Mag case. I have a set of loading dies that are stamped 27 A.W.S.M.. They were made by RCBS. When...

I bought a .375 barrel blank from Sarco. My Gunsmith pushed his bore scope through it and he said it looked like it would be ok.

Ronniet,
I shot my loads for groups yesterday. My rifle seems to like the 275 grain bullet. 49.0 grains of IMR 4064 produce 1 1/4" groups. The 235 grain loads not so well; 2 to 2 1/2" groups. ...

I went out today and shot my loads across a chronograph. My guessamations wasn't too far off. The 235 grain load produced an average of 2,376 fps for a five shot string. This load produced a...
