I bit the bullet and ordered a new Browning BAR Safari in 270 Win. Never owned any Browning of any sort. I had a new Rem 7400 30:06 for a while back in the 90 as far as auto center fires go. I tried to handload for it and never found the sweet spot load wise, plus the magazine was finicky as all get out. I gave up on it and sold it off after about 2 months. Don't regret that move. I went online looking for 270 ammo this afternoon and Midway and the Optics Planet were the only stores that had any at a reasonable price. I am going to need small base dies to reload and they are scarce as hens teeth right now too. I have plenty of cases, primers and bullets, but just standard 270 dies. It may end up a safe queen but we will see.
