This may be my ironic but tonight I heard a friend is selling a 270 sako sporter that’s only had 10’shots thru it

I will get there one day MISSED , just getting started so I need something to work up to.
Give you a reason for something bigger. 8)
Could always just go a 7mm Rem Mag or Weatherby Mag.
Well its been a long time coming but i just ordered a 7mm Remington Magnum in Tikka T3x varmint today .
Probably more gun than i need but I'm looking forward to it ( not sure if my shoulder feels the same).

Your shoulder will be fine. I know where there’s a 7mm Wby reamer you could put through it. 8)
Norma cases would be a good choice but Remington would also be good choice.

No worries Bob. If you can’t get once fired then Magnum Sports would be a good place to start for Norma. You should be able to check online at a few different gun shops around the country and see what’s available and prices.

Shep,

270 will work well at 1000 yd. I used one competitively with 135 Smk, 62gr AR2217, with 210M primer. Regularly shot 8" groups at 1000yd against AJR and Tony Z.

I never had anything walk away from a 140gr Sierra Game King, they just wreck whatever they hit.

This post was a while ago and i now have a 7mm Remington magnum due to arrive any day now.
That said i have had great success with Sierra projectiles in my 204 and plan to try them in the 7mm.
Thanks Bob
