130 grain only way to go for 270 caliber.
Re: Accuracy of the .270?
I just loaded some hornandy 110 vmax bullets and I think that they are pretty good. I just need to rezero my scope because the lighter bullet has a different point of aim, but the groups are great. Will be working on my 130gr bullets next.

"....130 grain only way to go for 270 caliber."
Most of the guys I know here in Montana shoot the 140grn....better BC....better in the wind....better terminal effects.
Personally, I don't care for the .270. I keep one because it's the lightest rifle I have....a Brown Precision LH Remington Mountain Rifle.

Re: Accuracy of the .270?
I've had a .270 for a while now. I think its an underrated round. It has good distance capability, flies flat, and isn't too hard on the shoulder.

=========================
There's a reason O'Conner was such a supporter of the .270. If you look at the ballistics out to 500 yards the .270 has the same P.O.A. as the .300 Win Mag. It holds more energy than the 30-06 at long distances and combined with Winchester Power Points just puts whitetails to "sleep". I haven't had a deer take a single step after being shot in years.
Re: Accuracy of the .270?
...270's...lol...Love them or hate em...Mine will drop any whitetail out there with 130's like a hammer..First shot out of a cold bbl. alittle high but still a kill shot. The next 3 don't get any better than that... ;)

You bet there was.....Winchester would give him anything he wanted as long as he would write about it.
Kinda strange that later in life Jack's favorite rifle was a 7 X 57. He had a pair of them made; one for himself and one for his wife Eleanor.

Re: Accuracy of the .270?
The .270 win is an amazingly accurate round, one of the most underrated of all time.
The .270 is an excellent hunting round, for everything from large varmints to elk. Because it has excelled as a hunting round the market followed the huning theme, fairly light rifles accurate enough to kill a deer. This is also why most of the bullets made in .277 are hunting bullets, not match grade.
With very little work a .270 can be very accurate. My POS Mossberg ATR shoots .5 moa on a regular basis and I have a buddy who has shot 1/4 moa with his Rem 770. Notice that neither of these are expensive BR guns, just your average hunting rifles. I'll try to post some pics, Matt.
Re: Accuracy of the .270?
...My load is 54.5grs of H4350, Win brs, CCI prs...
