[QUOTE="The Old Hunter, post: 1953800, member: 110660"] Thanks for reply! Being an old timer, and a newbie to the forum, sort of left out a bit. Yes it was 130gr. Had used up all my 140gr Hornady SpBT rds for my son's ammo. All I had left was 130s. Initial was to simulate 6.5CM but being anal, I went for accuracy after a couple hundred rounds. I was so fascinated that the old group of .85" with our family load was tightened to .25 and less that I got fixated at best MOA. Didn't mean to mislead ya. Just the way the The Old Hunter's mind works or doesn't. As for the 140gr load I worked up for the old 270 Weatherby I gave my son, it pushing chrono'd at about 2897 FPS & <.4 MOA. a load I worked up in the 90's for New Mexico mule deer hunting. My son nailed his biggest buck at a little over 300 yrds, slightly quartering, and about 30 degrees uphill. The 140gr did the trick and blood painted everywhere! Only 2 steps and met the ground. Upon inspection after field dressing, it looked like a 1" knife entry and a nickel exit. That was a great load for his Weatherby and still uses it to this day. He figured that if not broken don't try to fix it! At 70 plus years and 60+ of them reloading, I wonderful memories of the fun of reloading, shooting and hunting! GOD has been good to me! Thank you again for reading. [/QUOTE]
