John, While in Maine of course I used Winchester Silvertips 130grainers. When I purchased the 270 in a Pre-64 M70 I also received 4 boxes of this ammo and never reloaded for it. Here in Washington 130gr NPT not at blistering speeds because of recoil issues with the wife. The 270 just never preformed for me and I know a couple folks here that keep trying to use the cartridge even though they have struggles with it also.
