Best Group

[Bruce Mc]

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 should give the Jard a look. The only serious business was getting the Model 70 Featherweight .270 ready in case it gets called up this season. I started out with my fav 130 Partition load and frankly speaking I couldn't get a decent group. I just couldn't get better than an inch. I had some 150 Partition I loaded a couple of years ago so I gave them a try to see where they would group compared to the 130s. Well I don't know if it will repeat in the future or it was just the perfect storm but it's the best group out of the Featherweight, ever.

Looks like those 150s aged well

We;;, if that wouldn't tag a whitetail or a mulie, there is something wrong with the hunting world. Let's hope that isn't a fluke, though it is encouraging enough that it is hard to imagine that it would produce a "terrible" group at a later time.

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.

That’ll work

That will do, excellent group. Load a 2nd 3 round group and retry to confirm.
