My only experience in a 30-06 with S361. I used standard primers. According to the somchem website it should be ok in the 270. Starting off with minimum loads of course. The test loads on the site was with PMP primers. Advertised as being "magnum" but in real life closer to standard primers. https://www.somchemreload.com/search?c=8&f=36

I have used S361 (somchem) in the 30-06 before with success. Gun shops still have stock of that. Some reloaders dislike it because it is a ball powder. BUT it is much much cheaper than imported propellants. If I remember correctly it was in the region of R300/500g. If you just want to have fun, why not try S361! Just BEWARE of max loads. It is temperature and primer sensitive.

If you plan to reload the odd round here and there (less than 100/year) it is not worth it. Load development and cost of equipment does not justify the occasional reloader. That said I would go with the heavier bullet. Problem with the 270 is that the barrel twist for most rifles is based on a 130gr bullet Log onto a site like Jaracal.com. Lots of info there

You can buy a new one from Silent Hunter. In Bloem. Don't have contact details, but you can google it. The guy is called Henk. Around R1.5k.

I dilute my oil 50/50 with paraffin. Paraffin evaporates overnight leaving only a small amount of oil

Sako. 308w And you have a grouper. Nice

Well said

Watch your mouth

The vegan thread a bit quiet?

Ja but you can identify with a club claiming moral high ground. Nothing beats that ace.

If you can get a shim to do that you must help the government to stamp out corruption. And to make the NHI a success.

Those old Musgrave rifles were soooo underrated. In those days people bought any rubbish that could be imported. And looked down on our local products.

The factors that influence barrel life are: Powder charge (grains) Temperature of the explosion.(some powders burn hotter than others) The circumference of the bullet (2 x 3.14 x radius) Did the barrel cool down between shots (throat erosion)

I went through the rebarreling procedures a year or so ago. Pain pain pain.

And THIS is why I shoot a 308 win. A 300 WSM will empty your pocket pretty quick with ammo costs.

I know why you kept it...
