I just had a pinch me I’m dreaming range day.
Took the 270Win out with a ladder and two other loads to verify.
First my first load is RL17 54.2 grains, Norma brass. 130 gn TTSX .
Avg. 3103
ES 19
Sd 8.5
Next up 45/70 325 FTX with RL7. Going to migrate to H4198 if it likes it.
Ave 1927
Es 22
SD 9.0
Both zeros ready to hunt.
Tried my alternate 270 load
130gn NBT over 60.0 H4831
Ave 2994
ES 9
SD 4.6
Hits same POA at 130 TTSX.now it gets wilder.
Did a RL16 ladder 130 TTSX Norma Fed 215
52.4gn Ave 2943 ES 8 SD 3.5 3 in the bullseye.
52.7 ave 2961, es 3.3, sd 1.3
2 in the bulls and I pulled one.
53.0 2984, 18, 8.1
Two more in the bulls and one 1/8” high
53.3 ave 3001,44, 8.1 (one shot went 30 fps faster others were very close… maybe a loader error?) two touching the bulls
53.6 ave 3012 18, 8.6
Two more touching the bulls…
Can’t say I’ve ever found three load that hit so consistently… any of these would have taken a white tail or bigger.
Looks like they loaded in order.
I think that first target two bullets largely hit that bottom left of center hole.
Very content with today’s sesssions.
Need to repeat the RL16 loads at 52.7 and 53.3 and 53.6.
As consistent as they hit, and no bolt lift… will repeat in case my loading technique wasn’t as good as it needed to be…might go a little higher as TL 17 was nearly 100 fps faster….
