Good accuracy and it's a great black bear load. I haven't shot anything else with it, just a few bears from 15 feet to 300+ yards.

I used the above load with a 260 gr Partition a number of years on two bull elk. It worked and was extremely accurate in my early M700 Mountain KS. I put together a load using the 270 gr TSX five or six years ago on an unsuccessful brown bear hunt in SE Alaska. It used 73 grs of RL-15 and was very accurate. I never chronographed it. It's all I will use in the future.

Conduct is the best proof of character.
