My father in law gave my wife his Remington 700 chambered in 270 Winchester. He got the gun from his dad in 1967 I believe. He gave me some old brass casings, RCBS DIES, and LOTSA bullets. Among these are the old Barnes 'x' bullets in 100 and 120 grain. I got reload data from Barnes and am wondering if it's worth my time to work up a loax. I have about a hundred of each weight. Any one have load data on these or experience with them? I heard that their pressures really push the limits and I am not sure I want to mess with them When I could do better with modern sierra or noslers. Any info would be great.
