[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 26667, member: 8947"] JMBN, is the stock on your 270 Wood? My guess is that the stock is warping and moving your POI. Free float the barrel and this problem will go away. Good bedding helps too. As to the Extreme powder, I am a big supporter for hunting. Living in Canada, I see big swings in temp during a day. Conventional powders will vary up to 3fps per deg of F change. That means a load can easily vary by 100fps in my climate. This affects POI, accuracy, drop. By using Extreme powders, I have found my POI to not shift from summer to winter. Vel. are consistent too. Great stuff. My favorites are the H4350, H4831SC and Varget. Using CCI BR2 primers, I get 1/3 MOA or better from "hunting" rifles. As to sugg. for a new cartridge, I too would lean towards the 270WSM in this calibre. Great performance and longer effective barrel length. Throat wear should be lower then the WBY too. If choosing any cartridge, then I would look at the 6.5 cal and 7mm, simply because there are so many great bullets to choose from. I have had excellent success with the Hornady SST for accuracy and BC. Tougher then the Nosler BT too. Good luck with your new projects. Jerry [/QUOTE]
