Well after finding a decent load for my rifle using the Satterlee load test I started playing with the OAL. I shot at 200 yards today to give me a better idea as to how the load performed at different distances off the lands. Four loads with lengths varying .010" it seemed the farther I got off the lands the more accurate the rifle was. The group size went from 3" (1.5 MOA) at the .010" off the lands to 2" (1 MOA) at .040" off the lands. Next outing I'm going to go to .050" off. Don't want to go farther than that.
If I can't get better than that 1 MOA I just might have to do a bedding job on it. IMO I think a .270 WSM should shoot better than 1 MOA.
