I've mentioned this in numberous other posts and some may be tired of hearing it, but since you asked. My Dad has a BAR in .270 Win made in 1981, lowest grade i believe (blued, no engraving) that shoots dime sized 5 shot groups with 150gr Rem Core-lokt. They cost me 12.97 a box a couple years ago. My BAR Lightweight Stalker .270 Win does the same. I don't tire of shooting them and I guess for good reason. Now we just need to get browning/FN/Winchester to make a long trac (.270 Win and like size cartridges) with the 10rd box magazine like the FNAR and SXAR.

You can look up the manufacture date on the Browning website:

Good luck and give a try at duplicating the cheap boxes with your hand loads.
