270 win Ruger No 1 action 30 1/2" Pac Nor barrel 1 in 8" Leupold Vari X iii 6.5x20 with TS 29 reticle Load: 170 gr Berger EOL 56 gr H4831 Velocity 2950fps avg I am more than impressed with the new Berger 170 EOL. I did find more accuracy with more jump 27 thousands. Also the jump is...

I built a 270 win 30 1/2" barrel with a 1in8" twist as soon as the Matrix bullet hit the market. Come to find out my particular barrel did not like them as much. Tried the Nolser ABLR 150's same result. Tried some Speer BTSP 150's and shot around MOA. Then I tried a Berger 150 VLD and it went...

If your buddies are taking one two then I say take the 30-30. If the season is hot and dry or there's been too much hunting pressure elk can hold up real tight in the trees and a open sighted 30-30 while stalking in the trees can sure give you an advantage when the shot has to be quick. Not...

Speer BTSP 130 gr. has worked for me on 16 bull elk and another 7 bull elk using 165gr Speer BTSP in the 300 WM. Perfect performance every time for me. From 9 yards to 535 yards. Tried n true in my book.
