Target shown is my "control" ammo, consisting of 130 grain Nosler BTs from two different Rem 700s, shot recently to compare grouping of my Win .270 rifles at 200 yards. The reason for testing is to find the best .270 Win load for Maine Antlered moose this September, and perhaps for deer. Both rifles shot well with this ammo...under 1/2 MOA! I'm very pleased with both rifles, which I have accurized.
The other ammo I shot at 100 yards with both rifles was a load using Hornady 130 GMX bullets, which didn't group better than 3 MOA at 100 yards.
Another load used some older Nosler 130 grain Partitions over Reloder 22, which proved too hot...flattening and cratering primers, and left ejector hole marks on rims. Pulling those bullets proved very difficult, so I'm rejecting them for the hunt.
At this point I know the rifles that will be used are shooting well. Next is to try two other bullets using: Hornady 140 grain Interlock Spitzer BTs and when they arrive, 130 grain Nosler - Bonded Ballistic Tips. I'll keep you posted.
(Second picture is of the older 700 Stainless with the stock now on the CDL Stainless Fluted and the Sendero stock, which is back on the older rifle.)
