Thanks, I do happen to like the .270 Winchester and have 4 of them. As for the loads we will see how it turns out once it gets back. The barrel on this one is 23". BSA's like this normally have a 22" barrel so I cut this one as long as I could. Oh I forgot to mention that I also cut a 1/2" unf thread at the muzzle so it can take a sound Moderator or even a muzzle brake. Thought it was worth doing whilst it was in the lathe. Sound Moderators are used a lot here in Deer Stalking now and some ranges are starting to specify their use too.

So if I even need to use either it's ready of course with putting on iron sights it means a muzzle can rather than the reflex type than is very popular.
