Just picked up some .270 130Gr. Accubonds. In measuring the distance to the lands with this bullet, I am seeing that I will not be able to load this round anywhere near the lands and still have it fit in my magazine. Rifle is a Ruger M77 Mark II. This is my first experience with Accubonds. I measured the distances using the Hornady length gauge as well as the colored bullet trick described in this forum. Both ways gave me the same distances. I loaded this round with the magazine limits in mind and I ended up with an ogive measurement of 2.844" which gives me a .050" jump to the lands. I am hoping I can still get good results with this jump. Will be testing the rounds for the first time tomorrow. Up to this point, I have mainly loaded Sierra Prohunters in this rifle. With that round, I am pretty much free to get up close to the lands.
