[QUOTE="learjet, post: 160552, member: 8815"] ahh...the 270 story...ill keep it short. the thing wont shoot any bullet / load ive tried near 1.5 moa except s110hp varminters and s140g game king hps. ive fiddled w powders, primers, charges till i was sick. the bullets above will approach 1.5 moa IF i seat them long, nearly touching the lands. velocity doesnt affect this. im pretty well setup, w 20+yrs reloading experience, a chrony, and a 1k range, but just over the past 2 yrs have i started working my rifles out at LR. the 270 is stock, walnut, and not bedded. the barrel is free floated however, and i check it regularly to see if it has shifted. ive been able to take any bolt gun thats came my way and get it shootin sub moa ez by simply floatin the tube, and load development. this rifle has consistently shot only 4moa or worse w any other bullet than those listed above. ive tried 3 different scopes(redfield 3-9, weaver k4, ssniper) and no change. the bases are tight, and ive tried a mix of rings, from weavers to badgers. i actually gave up on her a couple years back, and dhes been sitting in the gun cabinet since then. got talkin w a new employee at work the other day, seems hes a long time shooter as well. he described a similar situation he had w a 1980s win70, that had the same problem. he installed a 7mm barrel he had lyin around and all was well. the guns clean, w no apparent visible damage to the crown/bore. ive thought about sellin the durn thing, and buyin a savage tactical, but thats the ez way out <G> my last gripe w the 270 is the lack of high BC match bullets. i do more long range gong ringin than anything else, and ive takin a likin to lapua snecars. the 155s are freakin awsome outta my m1a. which, btw, will shoot rings around the 270, and always has.....and that just aint right im actually leaning back to having a nice 30-06 barrel installed. not sure im interested in a 1500 rnd barrel. just not sure.... anyways its a long term project, my m1a serves me well, but someday im gonna do something w it thx guys lear [/QUOTE]
