[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 825165, member: 25383"] I have a 270 mag in a MK. V. I tried 130 grain SST's, and they were like grenades. Some actually blew up in the air! I later tried 140's and 150's. The 140 grain SST was still too fast, but still did slightly better than the 130's. The 150 grain bullets (all of them) started out shooting around 3/4" without any load development (just grabbed some loads out of the manuals). There is little doubt that I can make the 150 grain bullet shoot in the low sixes, and maybe even smaller group sizes. Have not been able to try anything heavier yet, but the 165 grain bullets are on my want list. And before I forget about it, get your hands on some AA 3100 powder! gary [/QUOTE]
