took 270 out, ran reloads through, i think im going to stick with this, shoots pretty good. any thoughts? the groups are 1 inch apart at 100 yards.

That is some good shooting. You are probably getting around 2600-2700 fps with load. You may want to try some H4831 it has always been a good 270 powder.

Thank you horseshoe. and thanks for the other powder choice will try some.

H4831 is a classic powder for the 270 Win. RL 22 is also an excellent powder to use.

A seating depth adjustment may tighten that group up a bit more. I,d give it ago and see.

Not sure where you live, but in my part of the country, any one of those shots would drop any whitetail dead in his tracks with proper placement. Although I love my leverguns, my go-to deer rifle is my bolt-action .270 with Zeiss scope. Hope to use my 1894 .44 Magnum next deer season in the thick stuff, but certainly not over a field at more than 75 yards with a peep sight!

If you're trying to get a better grouping (target shooting, whatever) that's another story...I can't speak as to reloading, I just use Hornady 130-gr. red ballistic tips off the shelf.

Good luck with whatever you need to group at 100 yds!

Uh, oh, just read your previous post "Would you feel undergunned?" Guess you are talking dangerous game, not Bambi...you guys are out of my league hunting critters that want you for lunch...

hello marlinmounter and you are right any one of them shots would put a whitetail down with that grouping. and i am not going to make any adjustments i am sure the gun will shoot better than me. ;D that group was shot with some reloads that i rolled up. sense this gun is not a target rifle i don,t expect it to be a tack driver. ;D up here in Pennsylvania were i hunt there are a lot of hardwoods and fields i mostly hunt with my lever guns but like to take the 270 out when hunting around the fields were the shots will be 200+yds and think we might have brewed up some good whitetail medicine with this load. later DCH

Put a "seal" on that .270! Come next hunting season ,your good to go.

 

[dch]

Thanks sav.250 just put the seal on it. ;D I guess its time to start playing with the other toys until next season.

Good enough group. I think I would sight her in about 2.5-3 inches higher.

BTW, both of my 270's have 22" barrels. Yeah I know a little short. I tried IMR 4895, 4350, and H4831 with 130 and 150 grain bullets. All powders got similar velocity with similar accuracy. I stuck with 4350. My 150gr/4350 go to load for my 270 is a little heavier than 50 grains. My rifles shoot a littel better right at max charge.
