[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2899989, member: 100742"] Hi I also own a 270 Weatherby Mag ,and I have shot reduced loads with the 150 Grn ABLR for weekly range sessions at 300 yards, in prep for the LR school I was going to take that rifle to. Ex; When I put the new scope and rings on, I went to, the range and started sighting in at 50 yards and then 100 Yards, I used 67.5 Grns. of 4831 SC, and 67.7 Grns. of 4831 SC for fun target shooting , before I went to 67.9 Grns which was the load I took to school. With a full load 69.0 H 4831SC for 3068 FPS if I wanted too use that. I wanted an even 3000 fps for the JBM ballistic app. I am now using a Reduced load for my 300 Weatherby Mag. New Leupold scope and new Kenton Elevation turret,\ on it. I'm using 74.0 Grns of H 4831SC with Horn 178 Grn A max bullets. Easy Load to sight in with. I'm doing that again today.
