140grain projectiles for 270 winchester
Trying out some new bullets:
I got a box of 140grain Boat tailed - Jacketed Hollowpoint bullets for the .270.
Loaded some up with a range of charges of H4831 but I am not very impressed, I can't get a group under two inches at 100yrds. Strangely distribution of the groups was kind of linear in nature for several of the groups. In these groups the hole in the target were nearly in a horizontal line. Does this type of pattern indicate human error?
I need to get some different powder, any favorites for my caliber.
On the upside though, these do seem to really be some thumpers. I was guessing they would be based on the increased impact on my shoulder.
My assumptions were upheld by the examination fo the big fat hole one blasted into a tree. Much more wicked that the 90gr Hollow point.

the 140 grain boat tailed Jacketed hollowpoint bullets by Sierra stock number 1835. I went in to buy some matchkings but Burdett didn't have them and I wanted to play now not after 3to5 days for shippings so I bought 'em.
