My New Model 10 in .270WSM W/ Modified Tupperware>>PICS<<

[L.H. Clark]

O.K. Here is my newest stick! I like the .270WSM, it&#39;s a great round, but I&#39;m going a little coocoo for the 6.5 booolets so I&#39;m thinking this is going to be a switch barrel .270WSM/6.5WSM with a nitride barrel. Talked to Neil (358Hammer) about it a bit and I&#39;m convinced the nitride will do what I want, which is make the barrel last more than a year! :o ;D This is my second try at modifying a tupperware stock, don&#39;t know if I like it as much as the first, but it&#39;s o.k. Think I&#39;m gonna go with an aftermarket anyway when I get the 6.5 barrel done.

It had factory camo on it to begin with so I cut it down and formed the wood......

This is the top of the buttstock. I putt bolts in it this time from top to bottom to attach the upper & lower pieces...

I put the fiberglass around it all and sanded, then I painted it a base green to re-camo it up....

Then I bedded the stock.....and put it all back together. The groups tightened up a little so I know the bedding was worth it. I really am starting to enjoy playing with these tupperware stocks. I wish I had a few more tools but Harbor Freight seems to have some neat stuff pretty cheap. I still am wanting either a Manners or an McMillan someday, but till then either the modified tupperware or a B&C or the great looking Stockade P-Dog. I really like the P-Dog.... Any advice is appreciated. (Load data for the .270WSM, bullet weights you guys are having luck with, etc....) All I&#39;ve loaded so far is IMR 4831 and Sierra 130 GK&#39;s which have a weird ogive to tip measurement which is causing me to have to load the rounds really short....They are shooting well w/ no wierd pressure signs and are M.O.A. to M.O.A + 1/2 but I don&#39;t like how short they are. Gonna get some 135 SMK&#39;s to try out. Hopefully these will tell the tale! Hope you all like!!
