Default Did a little load testing for the Ruger No 1 (270 Win)

A couple of months ago I bought my first Ruger No 1 and my first 270 Win. Since I live in the Condor zone I thought that I'd try some loads using the 140 grain Barnes TSX bullets and H4350 powder.

I took it out Sunday morning to a friend's ranch and set up a portable bench on his range. After reading all the horror stories on the internet about how fussy the Ruger No 1s are I wasn't expecting too much but I was pleasantly surprised at the results.

I put up my old target board and of course forgot my stapler so I had to paste over the old bullet holes and shot the following groups. The small targets are 1" in diameter and the big ones are 2".

It looks like everything tried will shoot minute of deer and some of the loads show some real promise. I've ordered some more 140 grain and 130 grain TSXs to continue the testing.



Here's the rifle:
