Thread: .270 cal questions

What are you hunting and at what ranges?

I would buy 3 or 4 packs of different makes of factory rounds and see which shoot the most accurately out of your rifle.
There are a lot of good factory loads to choose from, all will get the job done with good bullet placement, which is usually more important than what bullet you use.
Federal blue box 130's are loaded with the Speer Hot-Cor which is actually a very good bullet and has performed well on a lot of game for me...they shot sub .5 MOA out of my Tikka, so at ranges out to 350m I couldn't justify paying any more for different bullets.
For longer range hunting, Hornady Superformance will give you nearly .270WSM performance but wouldn't group under 2 MOA in my rifle!
