[QUOTE="Mike Matteson, post: 1844155, member: 101791"] Jack was hunting when I was a kid and before. He made the 270 the rifle of the day. It's still a great round today. I wanted one at that time and still haven't gotten one even today 60 years later. I find it very interesting on the changes in the new rounds now. The handloading I feel has come the longest way in 58 years, because the case have only changed some, but burn more powder to get not that much more. The twist in the barrel seem to be the biggest factor. I've seen rifle coming out of the box shooting 1/2" and under groups with 5 round with a little work with handloads with nothing fancy. Care was given in bullet, powder, and primers used. Full sizing case all the time. No neck cutting, flash holes, weighting of brass. A lot of it is in the handler of the firearm. One thing I learned was different people hold their firearm differently. That can change the impact point of the bullet. My brother was setting up a 7mm Rem Mag for a friend, and he was getting a sore shoulder. He figure he had the load, but want somebody else to confirm it. He is right handed and I am left handed. I confirm the load under 1/2" at 100 yards. So we meet with the friend that day. He couldn't get the round on paper at a 100 yards. Move back to 25 yards to see what was going on. Adjusted the scope to him. He printed under 1/2" at a 100 yards after that. I couldn't begin to shoot his rifle sighted in for him. So the trigger man has a lot to do with it. Most of the time I can shoot other people rifles and hit the same point. SSS Mke [/QUOTE]
