I'm fairly new to this, so I'm taking things one step at a time. I want to get some practice in and get used to the rifle and long range shooting before I buy and start experimenting with reloading equipment.
I have on the way to me a heavy barrel savage 270 WSM. I have a 4.5-14 Zeiss scope and plan on shooting up to say 600 yards. Mostly white tail, but may shoot the occasional pig or yote as well if the mood strikes me.
What are a few factory loads I should start with?
I have a box of 130 gr XP3 already but do not have high hopes for long range accuracy. I am thinking I will probably end up having better luck with 140 or 150 gr loads.
I'm considering these:
Winchester Supreme Ammunition 270 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) 150 Grain Ballistic Silvertip Box of 20
Winchester Supreme Ammunition 270 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) 140 Grain Nosler AccuBond Box of 20
Federal Premium Vital-Shok Ammunition 270 Winchester Short Magnum (WSM) 140 Grain Nosler AccuBond Box of 20
Who is having good luck with 270 WSM factory loads?
