It is crazy that so many of us try to improve accuracy when we are beating MOA! When I was younger getting my old 30-06 to group better than 1 3/8th inch was impossible. Nowadays it will usually beat an inch and a couple of loads are impressively in the .7 area. This has to be because bullets are so much better than they used to be ( or the barrel took some breaking in). That said the old Springfield took a lot of game shooting out to 450 yards but mostly under 350. My first 270 was more accurate than that 30-06 right off the bat often shooting factory loads better than the reloads I put together for the 06. I used the 270 as my coyote rifle and an occasional Elk rifle then as a loaner, Convinced in the early 80's the 30-06 was the better Elk rifle. This was before I ever loaded Partitions much. That said I am going to run my newest 270 this fall loaded with 140 gr. partitions and hopefully R22 will provide decent accuracy at top speeds.
