My pre-war .270 consistently shot under an inch at 100 yards with 130 & 100
grain bullets, 5 shot groups. With 110 Sierras it shot around 5/8"............

I was going to make a .25/06 out of it when I bought it, but the 110 Sierra load
fulfilled that role.

You can usually find the sweet spot with the barrel screw if your rifle does not shoot the way you want it to. Mine shot great with just a barrel cleaning.
