[QUOTE="Roughrice, post: 2940157, member: 118657"] Stopped at a local pawn shop and saw an early 2000's Weatherby Ultra Lightweight with factory stainless barrel with blackened flutes and black receiver in a grey speckled fiberglass stock. Has a Nikon Buckmaster 3-9x40 in Leupold windage rings and mounts. It was abused and still caught my eye. Looked like someone had sprayed clear coat on it without cleaning it and it had aged and yellowed and peeled. After haggling a bit... I took it home on a chance that it'll clean up. Well... after 2-3 hours of tough cleaning, it came out looking very good. I then ran a borescope in it and it looked great throughout... like very little use. So, I grabbed 2 older boxes of 270 Win 130 grain ammo I had laying around and took er out for a run. Fired 4 of one and 4 of another and got poor results... as shown in the top picture. Came back and loaded 6 rounds of the legendary 270 Win load of 58.5 grains of H4831 and 130 Sierra BTSP. WALLA!!! Here is the picture of the first boxed loads of 8 total rounds and the bottom is 6 of the famous 270 Win loads. (the high shot is the first of the group) [/QUOTE]
