I’ve found that with most sporter rifles, that accuracy improves as you get closer to touching the lands. Pressures also rise , so it may be expedient to reduce powder charges.
I seat my .270’s such that at least .28” of bullet shank is is contact with the case neck (the one-bore diameter rule of thumb).
My current favorite load is a Hornady 140gr BtSpt Interlok or Sierra 140gr GK seated to 3.355” over 58.0 Gr of RL22. Shoots under MOA from two different rifles.
Another is the 130gr Win CT Ballistic SilverTip over 55.0gr of H4350 or 54.0 IMR4350 at 3.325”oal.
Under MOA also. But, much more frangible than the Interlok or Sierra.
Speer 130’s HotCores are great huntI got bullets but neither of my rifles care for them. 2moa accuracy unless jammed into lands. Not recommended for hunting ammo.
