I've been thinking about getting a middle of the road (price wise) bolt action rifle in .270 Win. (I miss the one I had to sell)... We can't really hunt anything with one in Indiana (as of right now), but since I hand load ammo, I could load up some 90-100 grain bullets and justify it as a varmint/Coyote rifle, rather then just a paper puncher (not that there's anything wrong with punching paper I enjoy it myself tremendously).
So my question... Has anybody tried light loads in their .270 Win, and if so, how good, or bad did it do as far as accuracy compared to "normal" 130-150 grain bullets? I've not seen the lighter varmint bullets in a factory load, but I must admit I haven't looked very hard so far yet.
This may be a better question for the hand loading section, but I don't really want to double post.
Thanks in advance for any opinions.
