[QUOTE="diriel, post: 450953, member: 26983"] Hi TJ, I did not see you mention what Type of POI change you had. Was it vert, horizontal, or a bit of both? I have a friend who is an avid hunter and shoots a 270 win. He used to use Varget, but this year decided to test out IMR8208xbr. He is the type that wants accuracy, relatively low recoil, and temp stability. So he was willing to give up about 75fps or so on the powder change (he does not run hot loads, hence only 75fps change). He says that his POI was pretty minimal this year. I used to have a 270 a couple years ago myself. A good friend from out of state talked me out of it when his rifle took a bad fall on a hunt. Anyhow, I used to use a couple of loads for different purposes: -- 130gr Nosler Ballistic tip hunting - H4350 - Win brass - Fed 210m primer. This was a real good load. As far as I know he uses it in most of his shooting to this day. I wont list the powder charge, it was warmish, but not overly hot. -- 150gr Berger Hunting VLD - H4831 - Win brass - Win LR primer. This was another nice load. Both of these loads are pretty temp stable. I had an RL22 load, but the H4831 replaced it, as it was definitely less temp sensitive. I use both actual field testing, and chrono data, in summer at above 100 deg. F. and in the winter usually around 30-40 deg. F. I was "Lucky" with the H4831 and was able to test it at about 15 deg at about 6500 feet one year. The load did real well. I don't have the numbers right at the moment, those went with the stick when I sold it. The guy is an avid reloader. I never replaced my 270 as I used my 6.5 swede most of the time. Anyhow, a wood stock can of course warp and cause problems too. Good shooting, Gary [/QUOTE]
