You can’t beat that 59gr AccuBond load! I get those groups with 57gr of IMR 4831 from my TC Venture with the same bullet in 270 Win. Max loads of IMR 4831 run about 2gr less than H4831 in my rifle. I’m getting 3128 fps from a 24” barrel with the IMR powder, and the rifle likes it a little better.
Great shooting!
Great shooting!

Thanks guys. I really like this rifle, especially the trigger. Never used the AB on game yet, so looking forward to the season for hopefully a successful result. I did try RL22 with the Hornady BTSP. Shot not too bad, but nowhere near the BT or AB.
boomer68, I have been loading 130gr. ABs for my 270win in the CDL for many years now and it has always given me that kinda accuracy and with the 24" I was just over 3050fps. The terminal performance from Antelope to Moose was great as well 
.
I was more than fortunate because for over 25 years I never lost a animal that I shot with the 270win.
Model 70 is a excellent rifle.
Blessings,
Dan

That's the kind of first trip out with a rifle that'l put a grin on your face. Nice shooting and rifle.

Dan, I have only used BT on deer so this will be my first time with AB. Hoping to get a chance at elk as well this season, so feel more confident with the bonded bullet.
I have owned quite a few rifles, and must say the M70 sure feeds nice and smooth.

Nothing wrong with that load! Hope you get critters with it this fall. Dan.
