270-760

[Bruce Mc]

Saw the post about the 7600 Rem in 270 win and was spurred to load some ammo for my 760 I bought in New Mexico a few years ago. I finally got a scope on it but haven't done anything else. I went out on a limb and did something different for me and used a factory crimp on the rounds. I have some 140 ABs with cannelures so I used them. 52gr H4350 because I have a bunch of it. We'll wait and see if the old boy is a shooter. Heck, it's older than me by a couple years.

I forgot the pic of the rifle.

Nice looking older 760. Classic. Never tried 4350 in the 270 but know others who do and it groups for them. Hope it does for you.

The old 760 exceeded my expectations. The 140 AB and H4350 grouped well at 11/2" three shots at 100 yds. I experienced some frustration zeroing the old VariX Ii 2x-7x Leupold. Played chase the zero for a while and finally got ot on. It shot well enough I'm gonna need to do some serious load development.

I went exclusively to the 150 gr. bullet in the .270. Top performers have been the 150 gr. Sierra Game King and Nosler Partition. Last animal I shot with a .270 was an antelope in New Mexico. Shot was at 75 yards as determined by my guide and it an in about 30 foot half circle and expired. Meat damage was quite small.

Both of my bolt rifles, win 70 & rem 700, in 270 win prefer the 150gr bullets too.

Nice 760, mine is set up with Skinner Sights but it still shoots really well out to 250. Mines using 150 PT and RL23..

I played the same game with my Vari X II 2-7 I mounted in my savage 99 308. It’s dead on now but I’m using Hornady 150gr whitetail hunter

Bruce, what a great old rifle!

Those things can do a fine job, and are often quite accurate. Looks like you got a good one!

I remember reading about the Model 7600/270 Win in a gun magazine, seems like the late 70's or early 80's. anyhow, it shot some very tiny groups! The article was saying how well it competed with a good bolt gun.
