[QUOTE="Diamondback, post: 1503359, member: 29413"] Try using 150gr bullets - Hornady higher BC and reducing H4831 charge to around 2800fps velocity zone. Better BC and less wind drift further down range. Shooting the 130's at high velocity and high pressure just burns excessive powder, kills brass, no real benefit in a 270 Win. If you want high FPS - get a 270 WSM or 7mm WSM in a 26" barrel. It will recoil more but give you the velocity. My 270 Win rifles do 1/2" at 100yds with Hornady 150's in factory stainless barrels. I would rather have a 1/2 MOA accurate rifle, neck sizing - lower brass fatigue, lower FPS, shooting higher BC bullets. It recoils less than the WSM / Magnums and still good on energy to reach out depending on altitude. At 8000ft it will do 1500ft lbs out to 700yds. For a non-magnum rifle, 270 Win has some legs for an older cartridge. [/QUOTE]
