I am really putting my RCBS Rock Chucker press through the paces! I have probably already fired 200 rounds, and have re-loaded another 200 just to have on-hand. Redchevy, if I may offer one piece of my personal experience with shooting a 270.. I have been shooting mine recently with reloads that I have made myself. What I have found is that if you want a lighter recoil for target practice-go with a lighter bullet! The Sierra Varminter 90 grain HPFB with about 51 gr. of IMR 4320, or 55 gr. of IMR 4350, gives me superb accuracy with very little felt recoil. Both of these loads are on the lower end of the charge weights. As I go up on bullet weight, the recoil goes up dramatically. The Nosler Partition bullets are great-but I don't think I would waste them target practicing. Too nice a bullet to waste on paper. You could try a lighter bullet, and then also a reduced propellant charge and it should tame the gun down quite nicely for the girlfriend to shoot. Glad to hear that your brother is getting his g'friend involved. We as a gun-loving community need to get as many family, friends, and acquaintances involved as possible if we want to keep our hobby alive, and keep the anti-gunners from depriving us of our 2nd amendment rights.
