Thread: Finally decided and purchased

My .270 T3 hated both the superformance loads I tried in it.
2-3" groups at 100!
Everything else I put through it was well under an inch.

Thats what i have heard from most people who have tried it. The range officer tonight also works at a gun store and is somewhat of a ballistics expert. he said he has tones of people having issues with it to the point where he talks people out of buying it.

Took it to the range tonight and shot some new winchester 130gr powerpoint rounds. Managed a 1/2 inch group at 100m. Very happy man. Had been annoying me all week after my issues with the 140gr Hornady superformance but finally got it sorted.

Have we got the 100m up and running at handloaders? Was only up to 75m last week.

You're right gadget! It was only 75, Not 100! Not used to not using the 100, didnt even click in my head. No the 100m still looks like a pile of ashes. So that makes it slightly less impressive. O well. Means that the gun REALLY didn't like those 140 superformance sst rounds. Also means the ballistic chart i just made will be slightly out. Good spotting! thanks

So if it is shooting 1/2 inch 4 shot group at 75 it will be a 3/4 inch gun. I think it will be a while before they have the 100 up and running again. Bit of a pain in the arse. I dont know anywhere else close to town where I could sight in a 270 without pissing a lot of people off. There is the 200m range at the next place over but dont know what the deal is there.
