RE: Winchester XP3
Shot my new Browning shortrac 270 wsm the other day .
Tried the Fusions 150 gr, first .
Got it zeroed in .I was shooting 3/4 " groups with a slight cross wind at that .
Then tried some Winchester ballistic silver tip XP2 in 130 gr ., they shot abought an inch higher and grouped around 1 1/4 "groups .
Like previously said , All guns and calibers like something different .
Any gun can be a tac driver with the right load and bullet weight if you have the nohow to reload .

RE: Winchester XP3
I've been shooting the cheaper (that's relative....) Winchester 150gr Super X PP's in my 270 WSM and the groups are right at 1" with those. When i first started with this gun I was shooting the 130gr Winchester Supreme Ballistic Tips and the groups were a hair closer, between .75" and 1" but they are $10 more per box than the 150 gr Super X's.
