Well, I shot about 60 rounds through the .270 today, enough to where it was burning my hand to shoot anymore. It shot great, even with a hot barrel. Shooting 130gr. Speer spitzers with 55.8 of IMR 4831 and some with 48gr of 4064. Both shot well through the gun, no bad shots that I could attribute to the gun, just my lack of being able to hold still. Now the Marlin 1894 44 Magnum was a different story. I just cannot get that gun sighted in for crap. Help me out there, the back site needs to go the way you want the bullet to go and the front goes the opposite? Or is it the other way around? Anyways, I would get it grouping close, say hitting high and right a couple of inches and then I would get a flyer that would hit low and left. Or vice versa. It was just frustrating. I had loads set up with 24gr of H110, all with 240gr swc bullets, all the way down to 18gr of H110. It didnt matter, they all shot all over the place. It didnt matter if the barrel was hot or cold. All targets where at 25 and 50 yards with the 44, and the 270 was at 50 and 100 yards. Could it be that maybe I need a heavier bullet? The problem with that is feeding though.
