If he were to shoot 600 yards at something it would be a guaranteed miss (out of the vitals anyway)...Nice group though.. Originally Posted by raybass I try to stick with the basics, they do so well.

I've shot that particular bullet out of a couple of my .270s and it was quite accurate, using book charges of RL-22. I've never shot any game animals with it but I don't know why it wouldn't work. Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.

That is one of the bullets that I would love to give a whirl outta my 270WSM. Decent BC on that bullet and I think I'd have the ability to run it at a pretty good clip.. Semper Fi

I've shot that particular bullet out of a couple of my .270s and it was quite accurate, using book charges of RL-22. That's been my experience. I had my best accuracy with below max charges of RL-22. They didn't like H4831 but I've got some Magpro I try with them this winter. Worked on a mtn goat last month.
