jnobleinaz Report post Posted September 4, 2010 my 30.06 really woke up when I changed from core-lok to horniday ammo. I was like you, all over the paper. With the premium ammo, I was able to be dead on at 200 even shooting freehand. I like Hornady interbonds. My 7mag shoots them really well. I agree that is what i use also for my .300 win Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted September 5, 2010 Accuracy-wise, most of my guns like the CT (Winchester/Nosler) ballistic tips. Great for deer - especially coues, but too explosive for elk and maybe even big muleys. Nosler accubonds are probably a better choice for heavier game, and seem to fly really well. As others have mentioned, it really depends on the gun. Some just seem to like certain bullets. Haven't shot the Hornady interbond, but Hornady always makes great bullets, so it's definately one to try. That's why I love reloading so much. You can try out lots of bullet/powder combos until you find the one your gun likes - without breaking the bank. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heat Report post Posted September 16, 2010 You really need to buy a few different boxes of some different cartridges and try them at the range on a bench rest. I have a .270 win also, and tried quite a few "premium" rounds. It seems like the more expensive they are, the worse they shoot in my gun. After trying probably 5 different brands, the Remington Core-Lokt from Wal Mart, less than $20 a box shot better than any other I tried. We're talking 3 shot group less than 1.5" MOA at 200 yards.

monstercoues Report post Posted September 16, 2010 I had a Ruger M77 .270 Win before I switched over to my .270 WSM. I was shooting 130 grain reloads, Hornaday Spirepoint Interlocks. I harvested elk, md deer, COUES deer, pronghorn, black bear, javelina, coyotes, and almost a mt. lion, haha. Got too excited. When I got my short mag, I bought all the stuff to reload and a buddy convinced me to try the Win Ballistic Silvertips. I wouldn't have believed a factory bullet could shoot so well. I am shooting 130 grain WBST bullets and I am shooting a 1/2 inch group at 500 yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThomC Report post Posted September 16, 2010 The only thing that knows what the best load is, your rifle. And the only shot that matters for hunting is the first shot out of a cold barrel. Mister Monstercoues, You can't just shoot alot of holes in the target, pick the closest three, and put tape on the others. LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monstercoues Report post Posted September 17, 2010 HAHA If you look closer you will see the holes covered up are bigger than mine. Those would be from my buddies .300 ultra mag. We like to save money and targets as you can tell haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
