[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 1060144, member: 2011"] As the OP of this thread I feel obligated add the following: Things are the pits!!!!! Replaced the scope on the 270 AM and began drop validation on the Matrix 165s. I'd only shot them at shorter distances for load development. They shot as I stated earlier super well. Set the target at 544 yards and set up the video equipment. Had difficulty right off the bat. Things were not going well at all. My conclusion that if anyone has an 8 twist, 3 groove Lilja barrel in 270 fill that sucker full of lead and use it for a jack handle.:rolleyes: Only one of the shots that hit the paper was round!!!! The rest were all over the 3'x3' cardboard target holder. The 8 1/2' X 11" target paper was, due to the way things were, about 3/4" from the card board where a bullet struck. Guess what, the hole in the cardboard couldn't be seen by looking through the hole in the target paper. Not even when the target paper was pressed against the cardboard. The cardboard penetration was a full caliber offset from the paper hole. That's one heck of an angle for the bullet to be traveling.:rolleyes: I have on order some Cutting Edge bullets. I'm bettin' those suckers will hold up. I have concern that they will shoot well for me. But I'm darn sure gonna try. I've fought that rifle since 2007 and every time I get her shooting good, when she shoots she shoots exceptionally well, but comes unglued at I'm getting ready to head out on a hunt. This makes 4 times I've restarted at zero, including barrel replacement. Darn! [/QUOTE]
