[QUOTE="Tactical45, post: 2215945, member: 115822"] I'll try to respond to all of those who took time to help out.... I use both 130 and 150 Nosler Partition in my 270win. I've found best results with 130s using H4813sc and 150s using IMR4831. I use H4813sc for 150's for now, and I have been loading the partitions as well. Curious what you mean by "12 inches off"? High right, about 1:30-2:00 Everything is factory barrel and trigger. I set the trigger down 4.8#'s with a mcarbo spring, and will take it even lower this weekend, I will get it at 3#'s or less. I like a wide trigger, even on my Remingtons I've custom built. A narrow trigger feels "heavier" because it's narrower to me. Besides, the design of the stock trigger is pretty great to start out with, simple, and works every time. Every thing is still torqued as I set them. You will get different point of impact with different ammo. But why a foot off? Brother, if I knew, I would be a pretty happy camper right now. LOL That said 12" is a lot. Tracking... I totally agree with what you have written here. Even with anything described here, 12 inches seems impossible to get without noticing "something"! As stated, I shot it, my brother shot it. We watched each other. Even the range master came down, I've known him for about 10 years now. No one seen anything, other than my brother thought I was canting the rifle, which is true to a certain extent. Like I said, after I took the hit in AFG, I can't seem to shoulder my rifle like I used to. So, I make adjustments. With that said, everything else I shoot drops right on target as should. Couple of questions 1)What distance were you shooting to? It looks like 100 yards but want to verify. Yes, 100 until I zero there, then move down range. 2)What velocity are the 150s running vs the 130s? Unsure at this time, not enough data to worry about dialing in yet. 3)Where were the 130s grouping in relation to the 150s? High/Low/Left/Right High right 4)Where the 130s grouping well but just in a different spot than the 150s? Don't know, they were off the target completely, and hitting the dirt berm. If my shoulder would have taken it, I would have taken the time to bring the 130's on target to see how they are grouping. Next time I'll see. I have had different factory rounds group 8" away from each other so 12" seems a bit much at 100 yards but I wouldn't dismiss it as normal. I could see them being 1-4" spread at 100yds but not much more. Thank you all once again for the input and ideas. I'm going to load more 150's, and then load a box of 130's in a similar fasion as the 150's and see what happens. I recently was able to purchase some 130 and 150 bullets from a member here.
