Back to the bench for the 270

My 270 shoots factory 130gr corelokts into some pretty decent groups (or did before my old scope decided to give up on me.)

The first groups out of that rifle that were fired after he aquired it, put three rounds into about 1/4" w/the fourth opening it up to about 3/8" and the fifth opening it up to about 1/2". It has a standard sporter weight barrel so by the time it got around to the last two rounds it was getting a little warm, not hot, just warming up.

All of that was with a box of Remington Green Box Coreloks.

I think it will do just as good with the new (to him) Leupold, and the Leupold will not go belly-up like that 30+ year old Bushnell Sportview did. That Leupold on my rifle put three rounds into 0.118" at 100 yards, and would consistantly hold three in 3/8" all of the time.

Now if'n we can get the load he wants worked out I think it will get better.
