Over the last few years, I have been using Federal Premium ammunition on most of my hunting adventures. Back in September, prior to leaving for Wyoming, I spent some time on the rifle range checking my zero and getting reacquainted with my rifle. Using Federal Premium Vital-Shok, 140gr. Nosler Accubond, 7mm WSM was able to a shoot 200-yard, three shot, group measuring 1 ¼-inchs. That speaks volumes for the quality of a factory load.
Having just purchased a Weatherby Vanguard SMOA chambered in 270 WSM, I was pleased to see that Federal offered a 140 gr. Accubond load for this caliber as well. Ballistically, the 270 WSM load is only 50 fps slower than the 7mm WSM load. I am looking forward to trying this cartridge on my next hunting adventure.
This leaves me with one item on my wish list; a Federal Premium 200 gr. Accubond load in 325 WSM.
