I had an old Winchester Model 70 with a 24" barrel that I used to shoot 54gr H4831sc and 150gr Partitions at 2790. That load was the most accurate load in any rifle I have ever owned, twice I shot 3 shot groups at 300 yards under .5, normally it would shoot under or right at an inch at 300. I could quite regularly shoot .5 groups at 100 yards with that load. I never hunted with that load as a primary, it was just a back up rifle on a couple of Elk hunts. I sold that rifle thinking that it was just too heavy for a .270win. I could have restocked it lighter (I am such an idiot).
When I was younger I nearly blew case heads looking for top velocity, now that I am older and I hope wiser, I want top accuracy but hope for decent velocity.
