Last Minute Ammo Change, Good Job Joe

[Joe C.]

Ok. I had my 270 WSM load decided on, loaded, and ready to go. It was a 130gr Partition over RL23. Shot and grouped very well. At least that was the plan. So I’ve been waiting for the perfect round to use my last 4 lbs of RL26 in. Looks like I found it. Tried it today with 130gr Accubonds and holy smokes my second one hole group ever. It even shot to the same POI. Both shoot better than I can. Both are under max loads, and haven’t chrono’d either load but the RL23 load should be 3260ish for velocity, and the RL26 should be close to 3300 fps with the Accubonds. Am I the only one out there indecisive at the 11th hour? I’ll get photos next time out but it was cold and an only wore a sweatshirt and was freezing. I plan on shooting them over my Magnetospeed tomorrow. I’m not getting any pressure signs with either but want to see how fast they are buzzing along.

Gotta love it when a last-minute plan comes together!
May have to try it in my 270 WSM.
Really like my rifle, and have typically opted fot the 140 gr AccuBond in it. But if the 130 were to prove more accurate, why not!
Look forward to the confirmation on your velocity.
What is your hunting goal by with it? Whitetails?

Yeah whitetails. Hopefully anyway. But yeah I should have some velocity numbers tomorrow evening. I recharge my batteries this time of year. Would have had a nice 8 with my bow but a Poplar tree sacrificed itself for the deer.

Hate it when trees and limbs jump in the way of your targeted animal!
