I load for roughly 30 different rifles. Never had a 270 before, so don't have dies(yet). I picked up a 270 featherweight model 70, used, and grabbed a couple boxes of cheap ammo just to sight it in and have some brass to play with. This rifle shoots federal blue box 130gr under and inch for 3 shots, and with 10 rounds of federal 130gr fusion, shot 2 different 5 shot groups that fit under a quarter at 100 yards. I didn't get a chance to check grouping at any farther distances. Given that I can get my hands on a case or two of the fusions at about 14 bux a box, should I even bother working up a load, or just buy a case or two of ammo and carry on? Pretty much the only action this rifle will see is deer hunting, out to 500 yards max. Is there any reason to think the factory 130gr fusions won't handle that?
