Four different 3-shot, 100 yard groups in a Browning BBR bolt action rifle with factory 22 in. barrel and factory wood stock, and a 4X scope gave me: 1.27 inch, 0.91 in., 0.75 in., and 0.60 in.

I don't know the velocity.

Yes, I agree that it's light. It was my starting load for this bullet, and I was very happy that the Browning rifle likes it so much. My Remington 700 Mountain Rifle (22 in. barrel) did not do as well with it in terms of accuracy -- that rifle seems to like 130 grain bullets better.

I think my Remington .270 has a slow barrel because I've never been able to get a consistent 3000 f.p.s. from any load in it using 150 gr. bullets. Even my 130 gr loads, using what the loading manuals list as max loads of IMR or H 4350 or 4831, although quite accurate, frequently do not reach 3000 f.p.s.
