Range day - .270Win

Got out to the range with my new to me Vanguard S2 and showing some promise. Put a Vortex Diamondback HP 4-16x42 on it and put it in a B&C Medalist stock.

Load

Looks good to me! I'd just play with the seating some, or not that's plant of accuracy for any shot I would ever consider taking.

That will work just fine!

That's an all-around load if I ever saw one!

Good luck hunting!

Nothing wrong with that for the first time out! I bet with a little work on the seating depth it will be right there for you .
Thank you for the range report with a photo!!!

Blessings,

Very gratifying when the first load delivers accuracy such as that. Tweak or not, that load will hunt.

 

[boomer68]

Thanks guys. Will be taking it out the first week of Nov for anterless WT and elk.

Real nice Boomer. Just curious. How far off the lands did you go? I just loaded a few .035 off the lands. Hope I get three touching like you did.

 

[NYDAN]

Looks good. Did you measure the velocity? If so, what did you have?

 

[boomer68]

No, didn't run it over the chrono yet. Hope to get out again soon and will for sure do that. I just loaded them to the Nosler load data specs, so did not play with OAL.

That's a great group. It almost takes the fun out of load development when they come together that quick. How do you like the S2 medalist combination? Please post a pic of it if you can, as I've been kicking around the same idea.

Looks like your good to go.

 

[boomer68]

Got out to the range today and ran my load over the chrono - averaged 2829fps and shot well again. Looks like I am all set for elk.

 

[DrMike]

A consistent load that will produce when the need arises. You are set!

 

[sask boy]

Nice shooting that group is going to serve you well :wink:.
I am looking forward to a great story of a downed Elk, hopefully with photos.

Blessings,
Dan

Looks to me you found a great starting and stopping point. That load will kill all day long.
