I have a Ruger M77 Mark2 Win. 270 What ammo is the best accuracy and power?

Question

I reload my shells and i want the best ammo that will give great accuracy and power

Answer 1

You'll have to try different brands to see which kind the gun "likes". Hornady Light Mags in .270 will have a little more power than the standard .270 cartrige from Remington, or Winchester. However, they may not be the most accurate.

Answer 2

First, make sure the stock's properly bolted to the action. If the screws are too loose, and sometimes even if the rear one is a bit too tight, it can mess you up. While your're at it, check the scope mount as well. If everything's screwed down tight, check for irregular contact of the forend on the barrel. If there is none, I'd bed it next (Accraglas is a pretty good and small investment), and if that doesn't work try free-floating the barrel. Also, consider whether it's really the rifle that's not shooting tight. A ragged trigger pull will pull you off, and a good trigger is a lot more fun to shoot with.

Answer 3

Rather an odd question to ask as you load Your own? Unless you are referring to component parts. In this case I would start with Nosler ballistic tips in the weght to suit whatever you are hunting, I have found then to be the most accurate and consistent bullet. Consult your loading manuals for powder loads, usually a powder that completely fills the case is the better.
Cases and primers I have never found to be a problem in a hunting rifle, whatever you have is fine. Best of luck with the Ruger, not too keen on the 270 myself, but the Ruger rifle is the best of the bunch.

Answer 4

If you reload, you should know the answer to this.

DON'T ASK US!!!!

ASK YOUR RIFLE!!!!

Study your reloading manual, decide on several powders and bullets, and then start experimenting.

Start with the lower level and slowly work up from there.

Every firearm is a law unto itself when it comes to a best accuracy load, and accuracy is more important than power, and best accuracy and highest velocity are seldom found in the same load.

Answer 5

You just have to learn what your particular rifle likes best. Try different quality hunting rounds like from Federal and Hornady and since you load your own, try different powders and primers. Sometimes the primer itself will make the difference.

Good luck.

Answer 6

Can't tell you the answer, why? Because each gun is different.

Experiment with different loads and bullets. Find the one with the best grouping for the range you plan to hunt.

I'm with Doc....if you are reloading, you know this.
