Context: After struggling to find brass 9 months ago I was able to finally find loaded ammo on shelves. I bought it because the loaded ammo was the sample price as MSRP Norma Brass or Nosler, they were always out of stock though. Figured I could test the factory ammo in my rifle to have a fall back. Brass is now in stock at various places.
Suffice to say the factory ammo I'm buying sucks these days. I have a hard time finding anything that groups tighter than 3moa. Shooting reloads with 130 Nos BT & 59gr of IMR 4350 I can consistently get 0.5 moa with good days as small as 0.2 moa shooting 200y.
Problem: Need more brass for 270 WSM hunting rifle. I LIKE shooting it recreational and maybe shoot 100-200 shots a year. I have about 90 Winchester brass but they have seen 4-5 firings and are starting to split necks.
Solutions:
1. Pull factory ammo to get brass?
2. Shoot factory ammo to get brass?
3. Try and sell the ammo that doesn't shoot and buy new brass? (probably ideal but inexperienced with selling things like ammo)
3a. For 270 WSM brass what brand is good, I don't need best. So far I can find Norma, Nosler, ADG, & Hornady.
4. Something i'm missing. (tossed around rebarreling to remove 270 WSM from my life altogether but i have a LOT of ammo for this gun)
Facroty ammo I have that doesn't shoot worth a dang.
Federal Terminal Acent 136gr
Win Deer Season XP 130gr
Fed Fusion 130gr
Fed Power Point 130gr
