[QUOTE="dmax1800, post: 871863, member: 68255"] I very carefully read and "listened" to what you said and I'm going to take your advice to heart. I am going to relax my accuracy expectation on my 270 and call it good for 1 1/4" to 1 1/2" consistently, which I think it will do. The funny thing about my 270 is that when the barrel is warm (at least 3 shots), it will shoot 3/4" or less. With a warm barrel, I hit a 5"x7" steel gong at 450 yards 90% of the time. Thank you very much for candid view. I'm new to shooting and reloading. I did get caught up in the accuracy bug. I started by wanting my elk rifle (300 win mag) to be a 3/4" rifle so that it would shoot a 4" to 5" group at 400 yards so that I would have a little wiggle room on an elk. And I have finally done that, but it took A LOT of rounds and a lot of learning to get there. I'm going to retest 2 of my most accurate powder/bullet combinations and test if some up pressure on the barrel will help with consistency. I'm also going to look into having the action bedded. I'll post my results as soon as I get them. BountyHunter, thank you again for setting me straight. [/QUOTE]
