Good luck with the handloads. I purchased a Remmy BDL .270 almost 20 years ago and it has been a tackdriver since the day I brought her home. I went on a whitetail hunt in Texas last year and in preperation for the hunt, I had a trigger job done on mine and also put a set of talley mounts it in and set a Bushnell Elete 6500 to top it off. That is one sweet shooting rifle. I have a friend hand load my rounds. Congrats on the rifle!!!!!
