[QUOTE="318lll9740, post: 1059665, member: 35398"] I have a Tikka in 270 wizzum and love it. I tried quite a few bullets with it before I discovered a love affair with the 140 SST and 130 Berger. Both of those projectiles with RL22 shot right at .4 MOA, and more than a couple of times. Last week with the berger 130 and 67g of rl22, I shot a .182 group at 3250 fps. The best I could weasel out of the barnes 110 was about 3/4 moa. Im pretty sure I could have tweaked some more accuracy out of it, but i had a barnes 110 fail on me at 200 yards with a frontal shot on a 6 pt that was feeding with his head down and just wouldnt present a better shot(tree limbs interfered when he turned broadside). Bullet went in at base of neck and traveled just right of the spine the entire length of buck, penciling thru the rear ham on same side. I watched him hit the ground hard, Lit a smoke, and called my buddy on utv to come get us. Well, there was no us to get, after tracking for three hours, a blood trail of only drips for 60 yards, then nothing, we gave up. Hog hunters found him 2 days later about half a mile away. I save the Barnes 110 for my 270wcf where they shoot one holers and work properly. The wsm is on a 130 berger diet for now. The hornady and berger bullets aren't pricey and some dont like how explosive they can be, but if you want to see if a rifle will shoot, they are great projectiles to work up accurate loads [/QUOTE]
