Hello LRH,
I am just finishing up my long range rifle in 270 wsm. I am looking at reloading 150 grain bullets in either Nosler Accubonds or Berger bullets. What I am curious about is max range I can get using these bullets on deer, bear, mt goat on down. I have a 26 in barrel which should give me enough barrel to burn powder. I live in Southern Idaho and shots can be as long as 1000 yds +, but my concern is did I build a rifle that can reach a thousand yards on those particular critters?
Also if any of you have any long range loads for the 270 wsm would you please share them with me. I have heard you can push the 150 gr to 3200 fps + but im not sure what that will do for barrel life. Any info would be great and really appreciative.
Thanks for all the great posts, I have enjoyed learning from all of you.
