Hello,
I am reloading for a Model 700 in 270. A friend traded into this rifle which is pristine and made in May of 1983. The gunsmith who pillar bedded the weapon told me he was virtually certain the rifle had never been fired so I have been breaking it in like its a Bartlein or Krieger barrel. The barrel itself is only 22 inches long. I know I can fill this case with 4831 and it will work but I want to gain the efficiency of having the powder burn IN the barrel and not out by the muzzle. So I am going to be using powder in the ranges from IMR 4350 to Varget for more complete combustion and will drag out the chronograph to find out which works best in this rifle.
I have tried Corelokts and they are a minute of angle and have had good luck previously with Accubonds in 2 different calibers. They are long bullets but this is a long action, so seating should not be a major problem. Is there anybody out there who has used 130 Accubonds in a 270? What worked best for you?
Thanks,
WW
