    KJ, I use a 270 barrel on my R93, ive been using 270’s off and on for 30yrs, the only time I’ve ever had problems was when I tried the federal 140gn accubonds in my old model 70, very hard bullet not going fast enough, meant I had a few follow up shots. For long range you have a few good choices these days, 135gn SMK, 150gn LRAB or 150gn Berger’s.

    I’ve got a 135gn smk load doing 2950fps, haven’t shot any animals with them yet as most of my shots are under 250m and I use a basic SP for that.
