I guess my 1961 vintage FW in 30-06 is an exception or maybe I should sell the barrel and get a good one installed. The 150 grain GMX, WLR primer, new WW cases and either 57.0 or 58.0 grains of Big Game powder seems to shoot OK at 200 yards. I turned into a "thing hitter" instead of a "group shooter" when my friend spotting for me said "do that again" after the second shot with the 58.0 grain load. My only complaint is that the 150 interlock spire point bullet shoots just about as accurately but to a different point from the GMX. My friend's pre-64 standard weight .270 shoots almost as well with 130 and 140 Hornadays. The 4 Pre-64s I have been around all shoot pretty accurately.
