Thank you TackDriver. The load sits where I thought. Right on the edge of max. Primers are flattened but no extraction problems or marks. The primer pockets are still good also. I expect this load will tame a bit in colder weather.

Could someone run this load through quickload and see what pops up. This load shot a very small group and I'd like to see how close the edge that it is running. Average Muzzle Velocity is 2998 fps. Winchester Model 70 Featherweight 270 win 22" Barrel. 150 gr Nosler Partition Nosler Case ...

Looks good, but where are the jalapenos.

Eccentric, the opposite of concentric. The bore was off center to the center line of the barrel.

Let me tell y'all a story about a 257 Rob mod 70 featherweight USRA variety that belonged to my bil. It shot the same type split groups. If he adjusted for the left group to be center the other group would shoot right and to the left if he zeroed the right group. So, no scope issue. He took...

I tried a load from Alliants web site of 46grs Reloder 16 and 70gr Nosler BT in my cheapie 700 ADL from Academy and was pleasantly surprised with 1/2" group and 3600 fps.

I've had four different 270 wins over the years and not a single one shared a common 130 gr load with one of the others. All four were very finicky with 130s. COAL was the key. Neither 4831s were ever the best powder for accuracy, or even close. I could never get enough 4831 into the...

I'm down to my last box of 110s. Haven't seen any at shooters pro shop in a while. They scream from my 257 Roberts with Reloder 22.

Temperature and altitude are counter to each other. A bullet drops less in higher altitude while lowering temperature makes the bullet drop more. You can drive yourself more crazy trying to figure out what you want on a custom dial.

Temperature can impact how powder burns so it obviously effects muzzle velocity, so I agree with that statement. Altitude doesn't always equate to decrease in temperature.

I don't think altitude alters muzzle velocity.

A Winchester Model 70 Featherweight Jack O'Connor Custom Tribute in 270 win. 500 were made.

I use std one piece base on my model 70 with a leupold vx-3 2.5-8. Depending on what kind of scope placement you need for eye relief you may have problems with a pictinny base with low rings. The scope barely fits because of the short tube lengths. The 2x-7x is much the same.

I'll take it to the range soon but it will be early before it gets so dang hot.

I did a little ladder test in the back yard yesterday. Looks to be a spot around 56.5 grs at 3110 fps. Not bad for a 22" barrel. I had to be very patient in 100 degree temp. The barrel got hot as a fire cracker real quick. I took it back in house after each shot to cool us down.

Thank you for the input. I'm gonna give it a try.

Was the Hick's accurizer a straight forward installation or do they have some quirks.

The load is 58.5 gr IMR-7828ssc, Nosler Brass, Fed 210 primer. I was hoping to use it on Elk. Alas, no New Mexico draw again this year.

I went out this morning to shoot three rifles. My 220 Swift and my 22-250 I was just shooting to form brass for future projects. Factory stuff for the 250 and cheap bullets with the Swift. I was also trying out the new Jard trigger I installed in the No 1 Swift. If you have a No 1, you...

Nice rifle, I remember seeing them at cabelas.
