Default RE: Your opinion on best .270 load for long range.

Well if it's truly for long range, the best size bullet for ballistic coefficient, which equates to best downrange retained energy and least amount of drop would be a 130 grain bullet in a 270. (.277 inch diameter). Find a load tailored around that bullet weigh. Every gun will shoot every bullet/combination different, so while getting ideas here is great, remember that Joes gun will spit the same load out much differently than yours.

Federal makes some premium ammo with Barnes X bullets, Trophy bonded bear claws and a few others. I have had good luck with them. Heres the page.
