I've been playing with my red pad 270 Win. Most people use the heavier 150 grain bullets in these guns but I couldn't get them to shoot under 1.5" at 100 yards. I decided to try the 130 grain TSX bullets and got them to consistently shoot three shots into an inch so just for fun, I decided to try the 110 grain Barnes TTSX and Reloader 15 powder. I was amazed at the results.

These are the first loads that I tried with this bullet. Except for one shot that I pulled with the 51 grain load, this gun shot everything under an inch and two loads under half an inch. The 51.5 grain load is shooting one hole at 3337 fps so I don't know if I have to try any other loads.
