Shooting .270 Win. ammo in a .30-06

[Gil Martin]

I was at the range and a fellow was complaining about the poor accuracy he was getting on a large target at 100 yards. I told him to check the scope rings and bases to be sure they were tight and they were. Then the action screws were examined and they were fine. I looked at the box of ammo and asked if he had ever had these problems with his .270 Win. He said he did not own a .270 and was shooting a .30-06. A friend gave him the factory ammo and he never checked it. The rifle was fine and I hope the shooter learned a lesson. All the best...
