Yep, free SS 270 win barrel.
Owned by a kid who buldged the end of the barrel, cut it off with a hacksaw to 21" and filed it down, but did a good job at that, thrown in a vise with no blocks and gouged it bad and also Visegrips that spun.
Pretty bad on the outside but its a shooter. I wrapped it with camo tape.
Worked a load for 130 GK over RL17 a while back. Reworked it again just to be safe with an iffy barrel.
Did not even crown it , just shot it. Found a near max at 55-55.5 gr and backed off to 54.8 gr at 3.3" and it shoots about 3/8" with this barrel and I never did any accuracy load testing.
That will put me at 3050 with a 21" barrel.
Also shot some reduced loads 130 gr SST over 46 gr or H4895 and they shot about 3/4"
160 gr nosler partitions over 58 gr of RL22. Never found a max on that one, just stopped at 58 which should put me at 2800 fps. Just shot to find the max.
No chrono on any of it yet.
