I recently bought a Browning A-bolt Composite Stalker .270, and after firing Federal, Winchester and Hornady ammo, the Hornady 130 gr. SST ammo grouped the best at 3/4" @ 100 yds. I am thinking of trying the Light Mag 130 gr. Interbond. Can anyone give some info on it as far as accuracy and effectiveness for Whitetail and other big game?
The Light magnum, as well as Federal High-Energy ammo. is plenty effective enough. But I have been disappointed by the accuracy of the loads I tried-they only shot about 2.5 MOA, as opposed to the 1 MOA or smaller groups I was getting with the same guns using handloaded ammo.(Good enough for hunting, however!!)
I only tried two boxes of .30/'06 165-grain HE Federals. I rarely fire factory loads, and when I do, it is usually just to get some empty brass for reloading....
