[QUOTE="nwmnbowhunter, post: 2861289, member: 103431"] We have about ten model 70 270s in the family. Specifically for 270, hornady of any flavor, just hasn't shot very well. Cheap federal vital shok 130s have been decent and is our main choice for deer if not using handloads. Usually around an inch at hundred yards. The 130 fusions are pretty decent as well. Did try the terminal ascent last year and weren't that great for accuracy. Nephew shot heavy buck at 60 yards and had good sized exit lung shot and good blood trail. The 140 hybrid hunter Federal round didn't shoot that great either. Remington core lokt are usually touch over an inch. Some cartridges seem to have lots of factory ammo that is accurate [6.5 cm is one] 270 win factory ammo just doesn't seem to be very accurate. Hand loads are a whole different ball game and usually very easy to shrink factory groups in half in a given rifle. If you are looking for under 300 yard factory option with elk, pretty much anything will work. I would lean towards 150 gr federal fusion. My buddy has used sig sauer elite ammo and it's been amazing. Not in 270, but two other calibers. I see they have a 150 grain accubond version. Might be worth a try. [/QUOTE]
