Today's purchase ruger American 270 "update: and first kill"

[scottfrick]

Do you know what ammo your friend is putting thru his? Factory or reloads? We are shooting fusion 150 grain bullets. I will be changing that up and going with 130 grain before deer season gets here.

He is a hand load guy like me. Both of us are accubond buff's. I think he said he was using the 140's.

Ooh good to know. I think down the line I will be hand loading for these rifles.

All I run in my 270 is the 140gr nosler accubonds I have a rem 700, and a buddy of mine I forget what ruger model he has but it's a 270 also and our guns love them 140gr noslers

Sweet guys thanks for letting me know that. I will have to check them out

Yea I'm stoked about the purchase. We went shooting today and it took 38 shells  to get them sighted in at a 100 yards. At first we couldn't even get it hitting at 25 yards sportsmans warehouse bore sighted these yesterday and we were hitting 8 feet high ( both rifles) at a 100 yards but now they are both perfect with 2 inches high at a 100.

thats where bore sighting comes in first

they were bore sighted first. We bought the rifles yesterday and scopes and then had them bore sight them for us. Something must have went wrong because with past rifles I've never had a problem hitting paper with the first couple shots.

1st kill with the new rifle

Good job.

Congrats!!

[wingsandwilds]

how fun is that!  pop a 'yote to break in the new rifle! 

[scottfrick]

  yea it was pretty sweet. Thought the yote was long gone but caught a glimpse of it up in the timber going away from me. I made a couple squeals with my lips and the damn thing started coming back at me figured I would do some management and hopefully save a few fawns.  now that I got the first kill out of the way now it's time for something a bit bigger
