If you like the Leverevolution rounds you can save the brass and re-load them as you can purchase just the bullets from Hornady as a component.Thanks did i say I shoot my 444S today very pleased with it I got a bullseye.I was shooting Horady Leverevolution;Is there some reason why i cant reload this brass.I was told its to short of a case. Thanks for the replies.

it might be easier starting out that way. i use an older RCBS single stage press i inherited from my dad, from the late 60's, (they do last almost forever!) that works great. i reload for accuracy, not volume. i am thinking of adding a progressive or turret type press to reload for my 40 S-W, 45 ACP and 223. so that i can reload in volume for these calibers. but i like the single stage as usually the most i reload at a time is about 40-100 rounds for different rifles. i just received my 270 Win. dies in the other day. i can't wait to load some handloads for it and try them out.I'm thinking, tell me if I'm wrong here.For a beginner would it be better if i set that press in single stage mode.For a more relaxed pace and more attention to detail of each step?(I'm retired and worked on a assembly line I'm done with repetitive pace and speed of the line speed and quantity was placed above quality)
IMHO, I believe that your thinking is good. I've never owned anything besides a single stage press for rifle or pistols. It would depend on the volume that you shoot, being pleasure or competition.I'm thinking, tell me if I'm wrong here.For a beginner would it be better if i set that press in single stage mode.For a more relaxed pace and more attention to detail of each step?(I'm retired and worked on a assembly line I'm done with repetitive pace and speed of the line speed and quantity was placed above quality)
when the bullets arrive in the next few days, i will put some together and try them out next weekend. i will give you a progress report of what i come up with. i want to try out some of my IMR4198 with them as i use this powder with my 7mm Rem. Mag., and it takes a lot of the felt recoil out of it. so it should tame the 270 down somewhat. it also pretty accurate in the 7mm Rem. Mag., so i am curious to see what results i get with it in the 270.Axxe 55 let me know what you find for the .270. My Winchester Model 70 went with me yesterday to the range shes all zeroed in ,I'm glad I decided to shot the Model 70 before 20 rounds with the Marlin .444.My shoulder sore! Well really 16 rounds.
Four, i recieved my 270 bullets tuesday, and loaded up 15 with some IMR4350 powder, using 140gr BTSP bullets from Hornady. this saturday if the weather is cooperative, i plan on shooting them and see what happens. i need to order some cases from Midway so i will have more cases to load, but might go to wal-mart and buy some ammo just for the cases to reload. if i can, i will update you saturday or sunday on the results of my shooting with my reloads.Axxe 55 let me know what you find for the .270.

Awesome we love a range report!Four, i recieved my 270 bullets tuesday, and loaded up 15 with some IMR4350 powder, using 140gr BTSP bullets from Hornady. this saturday if the weather is cooperative, i plan on shooting them and see what happens. i need to order some cases from Midway so i will have more cases to load, but might go to wal-mart and buy some ammo just for the cases to reload. if i can, i will update you saturday or sunday on the results of my shooting with my reloads.
i also loaded 40 rounds of 7mm-08 to test out tto get a baseline to compare to when the rifle is rebarreled. i also plan on loading about 40-60 308 rounds to shoot and finish up with 30 rounds of 7mm Rem. Mag. might even haul out the 25-06 and shoot it some, i've got about 60 rounds of loaded ammo for it too. i have worked the last 10 saturdays in a row, and it has really cut into my shooting time a bunch. if the weather is cooperative saturday and sunday, i plan on shooting and doing some load development. i recently bought a different brand of 308 bullets, same weight little different design than the last ones used. i want to try those out.Awesome we love a range report!
