I have a Browning A Bolt 2 Stainless Stalker .270 Win that absolutely hates HSP ammo. It'll give a pattern every time. Now I only shoot regular 130 grain ammo on sale and I got good groups.

Yep. Agree with maladat. Hornadys SST get it done.

Thanks again for the comments

I do like the SSTs and have used them in supersonic 300 BLK for hunting...it seems, as many of you have pointed out, that the Super Performance ammo is just too fast to be accurate.

Personally, I've had good success with Barnes TAC-TX in 300 BLK and Gold Dot Jacketed Soft Point in .308. I tried the GD on a whim because I have a .308 AR set up for HD with that load and I took four deer this last season with it.

I'm looking forward to trying the 6.5G SBR this year. I'm going to wring it out soon and find it's sweet load.

Check the twist, some heavy bullets don't work well in slow twist rate....this may be you problem
