[QUOTE="g0cherr, post: 2017126, member: 22133"] I have recently acquired a Remington 700 BDL in 270. I have learned from Remington it was manufactured in July of 1974 and that’s all the history I have on it. I am trying to develop a load in the 145-150 grain bullet range. I want to give it to my grandson for deer and elk hunting. I know this rifle has a 22” barrel with a 1-10 twist. I like the 4831 powder and thought I had found a load using 145 ELD X. After going thru powder charges and seating depth I got a 5/8 group with 2936 FPS. Loaded up a bunch and took it out to sight in and couldn’t get under 2” groups. I would get 2 touching then a flyer. Try another group and same results. I wouldn’t think I would need a faster twist rate for that bullet but apparently the gun doesn’t like that bullet. I recently read some rifles just don’t like boat tails so I am asking for what some of you may have found successful with this rifle in the 150 grain range. I am not opposed to the 130 grain but really want to go heavier. Thanks [/QUOTE]
