Curious what you decided to ho with instead. I just got the FTW model ruger in this caliber. Had I seen this deal I probably would have picked this up

Appreciate the advice. I want to run a 270 Barnes as they are a bit better for further shots and I have a CDS dial on the scope for a 2800 fps bullet which I know I can obtain with the 270 grains. Barnes also endorses the 270 LRX for Cape buffalo which is reassuring. Ideally I will never use the...

Resurrecting an old thread here to share some thoughts. I plan on zeroing my 3.5-10 Leupold scope on my 375 ruger with either 250 CX Hornady factory ammo or 270 LRX depending on which shoots better. I bought spuhr rings and RMR red dot mount that attaches to the spuhr rings where I will mount a...

Unfortunately I don't have either of those powders. Thanks for the info though!

I think based on the data I've seen I will start with reloader 16. It's temp stable and very good velocity based on Speer load data. I will aim around 2800fps and see how it groups if bad I'll adjust seating depth significantly to see if that changes anything. If still shitty groups I'll move to...

I bought a hornady modified case to measure to the lands. Seems from others these bullet like a lot of jump so i hope I have a long enough throat in the Ruger Hawkeye

The reason is kind of silly but the CDS dial on my scope is for a 185TTSX at 2810 fps. The 270 LRX has a similar BC to this bullet so if I get the velocity close (and accuracy is acceptable ~1 MOA) I'd be very happy as I wouldn't need to buy another $80 dial and wait time. Of course if the load...

Yea RL16 seems to get crazy high velocities and its a temp stable powder. I have a feeling all loads will be compressed however as it's not very dense and I suspect you will fill the case before getting to good velocities with these longer bullets. I'll try loading to Max COAL 3.34" and see how...

Looking to see what powders would give the best velocities and lowest pressures with the Barnes 270 LRX in particular. I have on hand: Reloader 16 (great in 6.5 CM and temp stable). Have a lot H4831SC (used it in my old 7mm-300WSM but since sold it) Varget - No explaination need. Have a decent...

I recently went through this debate. There are pros and cons to both. I ended up with a 375 Ruger for the following reasons: 1. More production rifles at a reasonable price available thanks to Ruger. I bought a Ruger Hawkeye FTW 375 Ruger. Vx3i 3.5-10 scope in Spuhr rings, silencerco muzzle...

Sorry obviously I meant 270 LRX no 170. Typo and can't edit now.

Asked Barnes if the 170 LRX is adequate for use on Cape Buffalo. Below is their response: " Over on the 24 Hour Campfire.com forum, RickBin, the owner has posted his “now” preference for the 270 gr LRX in his 375’s. He’s taken a multitude of Cape Buffalo with many 375 cal bullets. I’d have...
