[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 55238, member: 12"] Cobber think you should try some different ammo, but with the 270 WSM being new, might not be too much to choose from. Personal opinion is going to a new slightly heavier barrel ($450-500) is a big waste of money if you are still going to shoot factory ammo with limited choices. Doubt that will give you what you want by itself. Have the muzzle of the barrel recrown and pillar bedded first. Then retry. If the bore seems rough while running a patch through it, then order the David Tubbs Final Finish kit ($30) and have someone load 5 each of the bullets to fire down the barrel. They are coated with a grinding type compound in various grits to smooth the throat and bore. Normally helps accuracy in factory guns. Has 5 grits and 10 bullets each. Think I would start with 5 each and see what it does. But custom barrel and same factory ammo is probably still not going to fix your problem and cut groups to .5 MOA. .5 MOA can easily be down with lightweight gun, custom barrel and quality reloads. Your problem is that the 270 WSM does not have multiple brands of ammo to try and find the load the gun likes. You are really going to have to reload. You can go on Ebay and buy used Rockchucker press ($50-75), used RCBS 10-10 scale($30), dillon micrometer ($30 new price),Forester BR 270 WSM dies ($60) and other odds and ends for an additional $150-200 and that will get you started very easily. All of that is less than your rebarrel job and you can hit the .5 to .75 MOA mark very easily and cheaper to shoot than factory ammo. BH [/QUOTE]
