[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 243216, member: 307"] friendlyfireisnt, I think the .270 Win with a 26" barrel would make a great LR rig. With your velocity hovering about 3100fps there's not much in North America immune to it. I would try the Nosler Ballistic Tip or AccuBond, Swift's Scirocco, Berger's VLD and a 130 or 140gn TSX. I wouldn't go too low on the TSX (110gn) or you'd loose the ballistic benefit of the heavier bullet. As for powder, RL22 would be my personal first choice. I'd also try 4350/4831 (IMR & Hodgdon), Viht560 and AA3100. Depending on bullet weight, maybe some IMR7828, Retumbo or RL25. I've always wanted a .270 Sendero but have never been able to run across one. Good luck and hope it works out good for you. JohnnyK. [/QUOTE]
