[quote=Oldbilly]Last year I lucked into a deal, on an unopened, 8 pound jug of IMR 4895 for $50.00! I went on Hodgdon's website and they showed a load for a 130 grain Honady, spire point, flat base.
My Ruger Mark II, in 270 Winchester, has always been,at best, an inch and a half gun. Good enough for woods deer hunting here in New Hampshire.
I loaded 46gr.of the IMR4895 behind the Honady and much to my surprise It would repeatably do less than 1 inch, 3 shot groups, at a hundred yards. I got to test it out on 180 pound, 8 pointer this fall. It worked great. 150 yard shot, DRT!
I guess sometimes, it works to try things outside of the box. I originally bought the IMR 4895 for use in my 308 Winchester but thought, what the heck, I'll try in the 270. Glad I did.

Not surprised you got MOA results with H-4895 in your .270 but then your rifle is a .270! As much hell as the .270 and their users catch on the campfire Winchester creating the .270 from the 30-06 case was brilliant.
