Zero at 200 for .270 WSM? - 12/28/09
I sighted in my new rifle today--a .270 WSM A-Bolt Stainless Stalker. Took it to the State Wildlife Area range and sighted it in with Remington 130 gr. Core-Lokts, but I have some Winchester Ballistic Silvertip 130 gr. loads to try next time. Right now it's hitting 2" high at 100 yards, directly above my aim point. According to a 2008 Remington catalog I have, this would mean that I'm zeroed for that load at about 250 yards.
I think this is gonna be a good rifle/scope combo (Leupold VX II 3-9). Next time I'll try the Winchester 130 grain Silvertips and some 150 grain Power points. Do you guys who shoot .270 WSM's zero for 200, 250 yards, or another range?
