So i decided to cast up some boolits for my 270 Winchester rifle.
the rifle is a marlin XL rifle that has maybe seen 50-100 rounds shot out of it in its life.
so i casted up some Lee 135 gr boolits at a BHN of 17-18 and put on a gas check and tumbled lubed them.
the load was 12gr of Unique witch gave very consonant velocity's of around 1575 FPS
but the groups were around 3" with my gun and nearly the same with a 270 tikka T3 of my cousins.
so i have a few questions.
can i go faster with this bullet? should i go faster with this bullet gas checked at this BHN?
what should i expect from a 270? for group sizes
