Model 700 Rem SPS Stainless chambered in 270. I have had this gun for about a year now and have been shooting Core-Loct through it primarily and am not too impressed with the bullets grouping or performance.

I was thinking about getting into doing some reloads for it, but the expense of reloadingreally doesnt meet my needs as a hunter who is limited to whereI can even use a rifle vs my slug gun.

The 130gr Core-Loct i get about a 3in group @100 yrds with them off bags. Ive even let more experienced shooters shoot it and they get about the same grouping. I have a VX1 Scope as well.

The DeerI was able to take last yearI had one bullet perform very well and the other not so well.

I decided to call sierra's reloading hotline to see what type of load and bullet weight they would recomend for accuracy and putting meat on the table. The told me to look into a higher quality jacketflat based 130gr round. They recomended their pro hunter bullet in 130gr.

I guess what i am looking for is who makes a better 130gr Soft point flat basedbullet in a factory load? Federal offers the nosler partition, but that is slightly over kill for whitetail. I know federal premiumuses some sierra loads, but only in boat tail. I was thinking about just buyin a box of hornaday 130s and winchester 130s to see what they shoot like, but at $30 a box i guess this could get a lil pricy.

Any suggestions on this matter?
