[QUOTE="Riflehunter1776, post: 1402886, member: 103369"] Why does my .270 like varget powder (with 130gr bullets) so much? It's a faster burning powder than a 270 is "supposed" to like, so why does this rifle shoot over 1 MOA with numerous "correct" slower burning powders, but tiny cloverleafs with Varget? Many books don't even show Varget as a choice in this caliber. Now, I know the varget gives much slower velocity than, for example, Hybrid 100v, but with that one the group size triples at 100, and gets really bad at 300, where the varget is still nice and tight, albeit with more drop. I've shot deer with both, and they don't seem to know the difference when I hit them - typically they die before they have time to critique my choice of components. I've heard suggestions that it's due to throat erosion in a 25 year old barrel. Anybody experience similar issues? [/QUOTE]
