Who makes the most accurate bullet (Mold) for the Remington 760 in .270 winchester. My goal is accuracy not hunting as I will use Jacketed bullets for hunting. This is a pump gun.


Thanks

Others will have to chime in as I've only used one mold, RCBS 270-130-FP and was completely happy with it. Do noci9tce there is a 170gr. SP bullet; it has more nose and less bearing area than the lighter FP mold...past experinece has lead me to less nose, more bearing area for medium velocity accuracy loads so picked the 130gr. mold over the 150. Worked out fine for me as I seldom drive these bullets past 1900fps.

Have also loaded htme without the gas check over 10gr. of Red Dot (can subsitutue 700X is you happen to have that on hand) for just at 1200fps and good good accuracy.
