I bet the new 100 grain Accubond for the 6.8 out of the .270 Winchester would put the hurt on a deer too. Member: Clan of the Turdlike People.

No need to stress the barrel or alter poi's. Others may vary. I agree. I never let my barrels get smoking hot. Sure, I'll post those 10 shot groups, but those are shot just as they would be in slow fire competition. 1 shot/minute. I was checking out the superlites yesterday. Pretty sweet rifles....

Tanner Nice group! Did you just get the Tikka? What scope/rings? Been thinking about a 7 mag and may just go Tikka. He posted that almost exactly 3 years ago. He's probably been though about 18 rifles in that time, ranging from Remington 700 to mauser 98... He's still trying to find the "perfect" rifle... Just sayin.... I believe he's trying out a 338 with 250 scenars now days... Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

Okie John No. No thang to shoot 10-20 shots as fast as you can. The gun will group what it's going to group and unless the barrel is junk, heat will not open the groups up or cause "walking".
