Coach Report post Posted April 25, 2014 +1 on accubond. If you hand load, a 140 gr. accubond with h4831sc is awesome. I like to load them long enough to touch the lands. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anaconda Report post Posted May 4, 2014 I'll just throw this out for consideration. Several years back, I drew one of those "North of the ditch" tags, and wanted everything perfect. So I went out and bought several boxes of different premium fifty dollar .270 ammo, While I was at Walley world, I also picked up a few boxes of the cheap stuff, Federal blue box 130s for $13 a box to use for standing, off shoulder practice. I set up a target at 400 yards and started shooting groups. Guess what out shot everything? That's right, the cheap stuff was grouping under 2 inches at 400 yards. Basicly, out of my .270, a 70s vintage Rem 700 topped with a Kahles TDS, the more expensive the ammo was, the worse it shot. I took the Federal 130s ( I think they load Sierra Game kings in the cheap stuff) to the Bab and took my deer with one perfect shot at 400 yds. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murfys69law Report post Posted June 2, 2014 Bought a 270 WSM last year for a speed goat hunt. Sighted it in at 100yds. with 2 dif rounds. 130 grn fusion=1" group 150 grn winchester bonded = 1 1/4 group. 10 shots to dial it in with new nikon monarch 2.5x12 mil dot. Went on the hunt and found a 13" buck at 530 yrds. got down in prone. bi-pods on rifle. 2 guys watching and made the shot of my life. 130s were the choice. Bullet dropped approx. 9 inches and took out both lungs and top of heart. Cross hairs were even with back of buck. I was amazed at the flat shooting ability of this rifle. It is and will always be MY NEW BEST FRIEND. Just saying. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
