    Sum good advise given.
    If you not happy try moving up to a 140gr accubond, or SST, I have had several rifles over the years that wouldn't shoot as well as I wanted, with light for cal bullets, one of witch was a .270 win, TC icon, but its great with 140gr accubonds & 150 gr Partition.

    Not changing my length. Wife is happy with it.
    I set it using comparator so I know its right from really trying in my chamber and mag. Its bloody expensive blowing away good accuvonds like this but ll try a load up to max ADI Pressure as I'm not seeing any pressure marks. I'll also check some more around the three lower values. Make sure the barrel is cool etc. After all. I only need one bullet this roar.

    I was always getting flyers and they are a lot shorter bullet and with the taper wouldn't seat close the lands. The noslers are great.
