[QUOTE="tankgijohn72, post: 1504520, member: 77441"] It could be that your particular rifle just shoots better with slower velocity. May not be what you want to hear, but some rifles are that way. I load only H4831, only because I have always gotten a load to shoot with it. My experiences with 270 is this: 2007-Rem 710 (first rifle I ever bought, and don't recommend). Took a couple years, but finally have a load with 130 speer that is consistent sub minute at 200 yds. I put hundreds of rounds through it before it would shoot. But, found the right combo and it has been stacking for years now. It is slow 2850 fps. But it is extremely consistent. 2012-Weatherby vanguard 2. First group out of the gun was 0.25" with speer 130btsp. Got lucky there. It also shoots 110ttsx (3200fps) and 129 LRX (3004fps) lights out. 2016-Ruger M77 tang safety. Shoots federal blue box really well and don't even handload for it. 2018-Howa 1500. My thought was to just find some factory round that it liked and shoot it only for woods hunting. Problem. 9 different factory munitions were 2moa all day. I have never seen a rifle that wont shoot something. Put some 110 barnes ttsx over 4831 near the lands and its not stacking, but its consisten 1.0-1.2MOA with 5 shot groups. Not done with load devel, but definitely promising. Some rifles are really easy, some are hard and finicky. In multiple rifles/calibers I have had good success doing seating depth tests with barnes lrx and ttsx. 0.010", 0.030", 0.050", 0.070" off the rifling. Usually one of those shoots well. Good luck.
