[QUOTE="Dr. Vette, post: 1221295, member: 22335"] When you are using factory ammo, I would choose whatever shoots the best. Almost any factory ammo in 2016 has a bullet that will work well in the range you discuss, even the old Core-Lokt from Remington. As such, my recommendation is to buy a few different loads for each rifle, each with a different bullet, and take them out shooting. Try each at 100 yards, and if they don't get close to an inch in just 3 shots, forget it. Those that do, try for 200 and beyond. I've done this with several rifles, and there really is no easy - or cheap - way to do it. At $20-50/box, it will be a few hundred dollars for the 4 rifles but you will find a load that will work really well. I have several types of 270 ammo as I've tested a few of my rifles plus those of others. If you can spread the cost with a friend by each buying some of a box that will help, otherwise you can try and sell off what you don't use and isn't accurate. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
