[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 324743, member: 13632"] He's running the 130's at 3500+ out of his 270win, I checked the crony with another gun and against another crony and the thing is that fast without much pressure signs. He shot a cow elk the other day in the liver and the entrance was about 1.5 in taking out two ribs then blowing away the liver, she jumped up and dropped dead after a couple wobble steps. The shot was at 50 yrds with a 130gr speer BT and it grenaded, I think at a couple hundred yards they won't grenade, He's one shot killed 8-9 elk with that load and I can't pry him of it, he's wanting to try the wildcats though. The load is 67gr of 7828, I have look it over from every angle to figure out how it is getting that speed but can't find it, it a shooter though. I would like to see a 160+ Berger for the 270 WBY or WSM , running around 3000fps, I think then the ballistics and bullet construction would match. I tryed the Hornady stuff and I could not get any groups under 1.5 in so they are fire forming bullets. It seems that the Bergers are hit or miss as far as performance, I think I would not leave them untill trying the 140 and 150's, I think that one might find one bullet functions more consistantly in each cal. since they are a little different design for a hunting bullet.
