With factory ammo, that group you first talked about being .75 with a flier may be as good as your gonna get. Factory ammo will group good out of some guns, not out of others. Its a crapshoot at best. Thats plenty good for killin elk as far as a 270 needs to be shot at elk.
My experience has been that Noslers of any type are not the accurate in the larger calibers. Period. Factory or handload. Im sure some will say they have good luck, I havent in several calibers. Hornady and Sierra seem to beat them everytime for me.
As for groups, .75in with a flier is actually pretty damned good for factory ammo. In all honesty, I dont see guns very often shooting in the .2s and .3s that you see posted on the net. In real life, on the range, I have seen very few and most are expensive custom benchrest jobs. I see alot more in the .7s to 1.0s and on up. Sometimes guys will shoot several groups .7 or larger and one group .35 and out comes the pocket knife to cut out the bughole for a pic and to put in his wallet to sport around. Happens alot.
Like I said, if your gettin .75 with a flier out of that 270 with factory ammo, thats pretty good. thats 1.5 at 200 yards and 3 in at 300 yards. If you should shoot the flier at the elk, thats still 6" at 300 yards. You shouldnt shoot one further than that with that light of a caliber. It will kill it.
Good Luck
