[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 93820, member: 2011"] [ QUOTE ] Thanks for your help! What range would you do the accuracy testing at? This is fun. I've been trying to decide which rifle to buy next. After today, I know; a new spotting scope. [/ QUOTE ] I hear ya on the spotting scope. That was my very next purchase when I learned that 100yds was too short for a ladder test. Not only fun but exciting to see someone getting a good start, you're right on track, my man! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] I wonder how much more fun life would have been had I learned of the ladder test 30 years earlier. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] You didn't mention which primers you are using.... If you are using Magnum primers, when you settle on your accurate load try the large rifle primers with it. I realized a large increase in smaller groups w/the standard large rife primers. However I am using RL-22 in the 270 Win. Got to pressure limits before I got the velocity I got to the velocity range I wanted w/RL-19.

You'll go a long ways w/that 270 it looks like it has plenty of accuracy potential. I'd do my accuracy test @ 100 cause you're gonna get some bug hole groups and no matter what anyone says, a 1/4 MOA group @ 100 way more exciting than a 1/4 MOA group at 300.
