Does any one know anything about the BLR in 270 or 300 WSM? I am considering getting one, preferably the 270 WSM. I shoot left handed and have used several lever guns over the years. I am mostly concerned about accuracy at 200+ yds.
The only BLR I ever had was one of the early ones in .358 Winchester. Despite its' 20" barrel, it produced over 2400 FPS with the Speer 250-grain spitzer and 51.5 grains of WW748 powder. It also shot into 1" with this load. Granted, its' trigger was not match-grade, but was not all that bad, either. Like a fool, I tradedthis gun off. What a mistake that was! If I were not significantly undercapitalized in the firearms department, I'd get another BLR - and it would be a .358 again!
