  • .270 at 500 yds

    Would you be scared of a 500 yard shot with a .270? I'm shooting a remi 700 .270 sps with a hornady 130grn sp round.

      The stock will be your limitation. The round and barreled action are not. Have you ever shot that far before?

          Animals or paper?

          Paper no, critters is a whole different story.

              Muzzle:......................3100.........2774
              100yds:.....+1.38.........2857.........2356
              200yds:.....+0.00.........2625.........1989

              500yds:....-38.52.........2005.........1161

              At 500 yards you need 38.52 inches of correction, which is 7.35 MOA and should be pretty easy to dial in even on cheap scopes. 1161 ft lbs of energy at 500 yards is still pretty substantial. It would hit similar to a .40 S&W at that range, still lethal to mid size game.

                Load data for the nuclear .40 S&W loads that you are describing please.

                  130gr .40 @ 1100fps? That's your standard load.
