I also tried 51.7g imr 4350 with the 140g sbt. it gave me a .680" group at 100 yards. I also loaded up 10 shells at 52g imr 4350 and the 140g sbt. It gave me a .75" group at 100, thats why I did 51.7g to see if it would tighten up the flyer, which it did a little, but I might even go to 51.5g to see if it will get rid of the flyer completely. Anyways, I shot a group with the 52g load of 4350 and the 140sbt at 200 yards and was also zeroing the load at this point. it gave me a 1.6" group and were clocking at 2850fps. once I got them zeroed, I shot a couple empty powder cans filled with water at 300 yards. I used my last 3 shells to fire a group at 500 yards, and it was a 6" group. Not to shabby for throwing some loads together. I'm starting to not mind this .270 one bit. WIth a little time spent and tinkering, I'm gonna get me that .5" group at 100, and hopefully bring my groups down to 4-5" at 500 yards. I only tried 1 other load with the 130g btip as I only had 4 bullets left. My previous load shot 54g imr 4350 into .75", i went down to 53.7g to see if it would tighten up, and it actually opneded it up to 1". I wished I had 3 more bullets and I would go up to 54.3g and see if It would give me a .5" group. Oh well, they were clocking right at 3000fps. I was happy with my velocities considering my barrel is only 22" long, and my dads 7 mag was only getting 2960fps with a 150g and a 24" barrel, burning 11g more powder. he was kinda mad at the velocity and couldn't see why the book said 3200plus, i told him not to expect that and I was right, but with a 4 shot group of .45" i told him not to complain and no deer will know the difference when you put that bullet in its shoulder. All in all it was a good day at the range. I am still not totally done testing my 270 yet, still trying to work out the little flyers that give me a .75" group, im looking for a .5" group. Going up and down in .3g increments really does make a differnce. This is the first gun I"ve tried it with. My 2 bullets of choice right now are the 140g sbt, and the 140g sst. I would rather shoot the sst as its BC is a little higher, and I think it will hold up better in the accuracy field at longer ranges. Time will tell.

[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 101885, member: 1403"] forgot to add that I did a couple other loads out of my 270 and also cronied them today. I tried 52g imr 4350 with the 140g sst.
