I traded this rifle away last year knowing it was a pretty good shooter, but later repented of my wrong doing and bought it back.

It is a Remington SPS in 270Win restocked with a Bansner High Tech. Currently it is scoped with an old B&L 3000 in 3x9. Dennis Sorenson did the bedding and trigger and checked over the rifle for any problems that may affect accuracy. I think he does great work.

I decided to start some load testing for it this spring, so literally threw together some loads to sight in the scope and get me on the paper. The bullets used were some bulk WW 130 Power Points I bought a few years back, but never used. They were cheeeeep! I planned on burning a few of these and then proceeding into my stash of ass't Noslers I have here for the serious testing, incl some BTs and ABs.

But my, do these cheepy bullets shoot! I'm not sure I will be using the Noslers, for a while anyways. :)

I don't think I ever used a PP in 270, but I know I killed a couple of deer and bear with power points in 303 British and 7mmRM.

A 130gr bullet in a deers ribs should kill him. ;)
 
I used a lot of the WW Power Point bullets in the Brno .270 that I had back when I first started hunting. I shot several moose,deer and black bears and never lost an animal to bullet failure. Most of the shots were 200 yards+ on moose and less on deer and bears. Accuracy was the name of the game then and still is now,can't put'em in the freezer if ya don't hit'em.
 
My nephew used the 150grs PP in his 270WSM and they held up a lot better than the 130 hornady interlocks on deer. They did not blow apart on impact like the interlocks.
 
I tried the factory loaded stuff out of my Interarms MKX when I first got it. It never shot those bullets very well so I stopped using them. Years later I picked up an FN in .270 and bought a bag of the 130 PP's and loaded up various loads in different powders. Same deal, I never managed to find a load that shot very well. Of course target accuracy and hunting accuracy are different things and the groups were certainly minute-of-deer, but I prefered using the tightest shooting bullets.
 
Never used the 270's but I've used factory 180's and 150's in my 300WM for whitetails a few times and they held up great from 25 to 225yds. And accuracy is good (4-6" at 300yds).

I tried factory 180's yesterday in a 300WSM and was really impressed. 1/2" 3 shot group at 100yds and (since I only had 4 rds left) 2-2 shot groups at 300yds :redface: ; 2 were touching and 2 were an inch apart. 4" high at 100yds and still 2" high at 300yds.

Anyway, I got a 270 Winchester on the way and it'll be getting 130gr PP's. I'm a fan! :cool:
