Default RE: Remington model 700 in .270 win

I used to have one....untill I went and floated the barrel on it and ruined the grouping (long, expensive story). I sold the gun awhile back for some change and bought a Tikka T3 in .270.

The best groups I shot out of that gun (the Rem. 700) was using 130g Federal vital-shock BTSP. Before I had the barrel floated, it would shoot sub MOA with these bullets.

150 and 140 grain bullets wouldn't group below 2"....and believe me, I spent at least $200 on different weight/manufacturerammo trying to find the one that grouped the best.

Go figure...My new Tikka shoots the cheapest bullets the best, while the more "premier" ammo falls above 2" groups.
