Range report for 270 barrel
« on: June 07, 2009, 04:54:41 AM »
I finally got to the range to really spend some time with the 270 barrel I bought from JerryKo back in Jan.
I'm using this barrel on my BC until I get a dedicated frame.

The range was busy yesterday and it was almost 100 degrees, so I didn't stay as long enough for a 100 yard bench to open, so all shots were at 25 yards.
I'm very pleased with the results!!
I started with some of the 130 gr Remington cor-lokt ammo, and the gun was putting three bullets through the same hole :) 
I noticed groups would open up slightly as I was shooting (hot barrel, hot ambient temps!).

After letting it cool, I played with some handloads using 140 gr soft points and 4350 powder.
I was able to find the load the gun liked.  One hole 3 shot groups.

I need to get back to the range and shoot at 100 yards, but so far, I'm confident it will do a great job   ;D
