In the late 1960s and into the '70s Remington made some magnum caliber rifles with stainless steel barrels. I came across one locally that shows some wear. Ahead of the chamber the throat "looks" a little dark. Did these barrels not hold-up as planed, or is this normal for the SS barrels of...
Its 30* this morning and no wind, so I'll be at the rifle range shortly. Good day to test some loads thru the new .270 wsm 70 Winchester.
Report to follow, hopefully.
Anyone tried the RL-25 powder in .270WSM? I will get some in the near future, if theres any "likes" about it.
The bullet of choice is the AB 140, shot from a Win 70.
Thanks,

I didn't know about this 'till moments ago, that Tim Hearld shot a PH on safari. Accidently of course. I don't know the details, but there was a video on Magnum Hunt Club show about it.
While after Buffalo, an animal charged the hunting party at close range and Tim Hearld tripped backwards and...
Thanks for fixin' this Mike.
Per scotty's request, a 1975 Rem. 700, in .264 Win. I picked up awhile back. Original owner said he shot it 4 times since it was new :mrgreen:

... reloads at the last gun-show. All Winchester cases. The owner did not know how they were loaded, as he bought them at a yard-sale.
So I set-about pullin' bullets, dumpin' powder, etc. and dropping the cases in a jug of water to kill the primers. After an over-night soak, I deprimed all the...
