Morning at the Range

Well got down to business with the T3 270WSM this morning. All my previous shooting was to break in the barrel. Anyway shot a couple different loads and was quite happy with the results. Both the Hornady and Barnes Bullets shot well with H4831 Powder (bullets were both 140 grain). Now do I go to 130 grain bullets or stick with the 140. (I didn't get drawn for elk rifle as I forgot to sign the application so they yanked it grrrrrrrrr. But as I wasn't even entered the letter said that next year I will be a priority 1) So I was thinking maybe 130 grain for deer. But am pretty happy with the groupings I got and the Nikon Scope is sure nice and clear. 3-9x50 ProStaff

Both of those groups will work very nicely. Very nice "rig".
