Took the .270 out to the range early this morning to beat the heat and the rain. I had to get it sighted in. First few shoots were high and left. Got it dialed in pretty good at the end. Shooting a 130gr Hornady bullet under 55.8 gr of IMR 4955.

Looks like minute of Hog or Deer to me Jake. Nice shooting. Ive never used any of 4955 is that a newer powder.

Per Hogdon:
"IMR Enduron 4955 is a versatile, match-grade propellant with a mid-range burn speed that is in between IMR4451 and IMR7977. It is an extruded powder and provides top performance for big game cartridges like 25-06, 270 Winchester, 280 Remington and 300 Win Mag, among other cartridges.

The main features of the Enduron series are copper fouling eliminator, insensitivity to temperature changes, ideal loading density and being environmentally friendly.

This propellant performs comparably to Hodgdon H4831 but charge weights are materially different."

It seems to work really well but can give very high pressures at the upper end of the load data. I load the minimum and seems to do quite well in my .280 and .270

About as classic as it gets. Have owned all the classic bolt guns, but the 700 was my favorite.

no surprise at the performance of your 700 nor in your ability to fire it .... nicely done
