[QUOTE="papa45, post: 126664, member: 3916"] I have been shooting and reloading for a .270 for over 25 years. A .270 is as accurate as any other caliber. Accuracy depends on the rifle, the load, the shooter and a whole bunch of other things. My favorite all-around load for deer and antelope is a 130 gr. Hornady spire point over 56.0 gr. IMR 4350, using Remington brass and WLR primers. I get consistent 1-inch groups (sometimes 1/2 inch, if I do my part)and 3060 fps. (56.0 gr. is over max in most reloading manuals, so don't start there!) I have also loaded a 150 gr. Nosler Partition over 54.0 gr. IMR 4350 at 2930 fps as a backup for elk. My Remington 700 shoots almost anything well, except the Hornady SST - couldn't get that one to shoot under 2 inches. [/QUOTE]
