[QUOTE="Patriot007, post: 2082139, member: 111276"] With all the Hype about the .270, and a plus, my little brother just bought a used one from the pawn shop. He wants me to take a good look at it when time permits. I'm impressed with the numbers you and a couple of others have posted on this Cartridge. I've always viewed this cartridge as Stickley a hunting round. It would be fun to tweak the pee out of it. I just fire formed some brand new 6.5CM Lapua LRP brass with the 142gn Sierra MatchKing HPBT with 47.6gn of RL-26, CBTO 2.2700, Federal LRP Mag Match primers. Five shot group AVG 3010, Ed 31.3, SD 12.7, The group was slightly under 1" @ 100yds. This is the first firing on these cases with just a little flattening of the primers. This is also out of a 26" BBL Howa 1500 1:8 twist and chrono on my LabRadar. To keep this on topic, you just can't beat a heavy bullets and RL-26. The slow burn rate of the powder, "RL-26" and a heavy bullet equals high velocity and lower pressure when tweaked right. I will move my seating out, in two groups to 2.2730 and 2.2750 and that should bring the group in to at least a half inch or better. Provided that I do my part behind the trigger. Good luck Sir, Keep me posted. [/QUOTE]
