Thanks for the quick response. I probably would not shoot the partitions but I am practicing for a moose hunt in about 4 weeks. I know, a .270 is on the small side, but I am comfortable with this gun from deer hunting. I am just resighting the gun with the larger 150 grain bullets. I figured that I should use the nosler partition for a moose. Anyways, I guess I will just use the Federal 150 grain Nosler Partition instead of the Winchesters for obvious reasons. If anyone has something else to say in defense of the Winchesters I am all ears.

Hello, I am having this issue I would like answered if possible. I shot 20 rounds of Federal Premium Vital Shok 150 grain Nosler Partition in .270 caliber and then shot Winchesters 150 grain Partition Gold's in .270 caliber. I had the gun sighted in with the federal and at 100 yards the federal was all grouped about 1.5" above bullseye. NOw with the Winchester all the shots were grouped about 4-5 inches high at 100 yards. At 200 yards the Federal was about dead on while the Winchester was about 3 inches high. I also seemed to get tighter groups with the federal. Anyways, why is this. The bullets Velocity tables are about identical. The only visible difference is that the federal has a copper like casing while the Winchester seems to just have a normal metal look to the bullet. Anyways, has anyone else seen this? Do you find that federal or Winchester is a better ammo. jjhuep

Maybe I am just a really crappy shot. I am shooting the Winchester 150 grain Nosler Partition. My plan for this weekend to try and get the scope sighted perfectly for an exact hit at 100 yards. After that, I will shoot a few shots at 200 yards. It should be lower not higher then the bullseye. After that, I am going to go back and resight the gun for 2 inches high at 100 yards and hopefully it will be dead on or close at 200 yards. Again, maybe I am a horrible shot. Also, before I try to zero the gun at 100 yards, would you guys try to sight it in at 25 yards again?

Hello, I do not have see through sights. My scope is 1.5 inches above the barrel. Here is my theory: When I draw it on paper the only way this can happen is if my gun is actually sighted in for like 300+ yards. If you draw a straight line on paper (the scope) and then draw the bullet curve through the straight line, it will intersect twice. I believe that the first intersection is just before the 100 yard target, while the second intersection is somewhere out at 300+ yards. If this is actually true, that would cause the bullet to actually hit higher at around 200 yards then it would at 100 yards. Do you guys think this is possible?

Hello, I have a .270 Win that I am having an odd problem with. Ok at 100 yards I shoot a good grouping that is 3 inches above the bullseye. The problem is that at 200 yards I still shoot a good group but all the bullets land 5-7 inches high. At 300 yards they all land 7-9 inches high. How is that possible? Anyways, I am using this gun for deer hunting and I cannot figure it out. I want this gun sighted 2.5 inches high at 100 yards and was assuming that would be close to dead on out to 300 yards. Anyways, my findings seem to tell me an odd story. Please help.
