[QUOTE="SansSouci, post: 1243185, member: 84520"] Sir, That was a great story. I've enjoyed every word, especially winning your first match with a .270 Win hunting rifle. I love underdog stories, the new guy wins the pretty girl. The .270 Win is one of my favorite cartridges. Depending upon the weather, it can be my favorite. For me at least, it seems to possess inherent accuracy. My 43+ year-old more Model 700 will shoot .5" at a hundred yards with hunting ammo: 130 grain Sierra GK, 60 grains of H-4831, old W-W brass, & Fed 210M primers. And I don't weigh every case for uniformity nor do I weigh every bullet. I use a ChargeMaster 1500, not a competition scale that would weight a pencil mark on paper. I wonder how that hunting rifle would shoot if I loaded it for competition as opposed to killing big game. BTW, I began hunting with that rifle with a 2x7 Redfield Ranger. About a year ago I put a Leupold VX-3 2.5x8. The rifle shoots as good with either scope. I might buy a Sako Varmint (I'd like to buy a Sako Vixen in Triple Deuce) in .222 Rem. I'm in Utah now waiting for Saturday. Utah has a fifty buck bounty on coyotes. If I were hunting coyotes in Utah, I'd burn a keg of powder. From what I understand, the .222 was the most accurate .224 caliber cartridge until the .22 PPC was introduced. Hence a Triple Deuce would fill a combined role of killing varmints and competition. Regardless, I'd still be in the same fix in gun-hostile CA. I had to get up at 4:00 am just to beat LA freeway traffic to get here: [url=http://www.angelesranges.com]Angeles Shooting Ranges[/url] It is a beautiful range, but I'd rather be waterboarded than sit on an LA parking lot, er, I mean freeway.
