.270 WSM All-purpose load

[23wyatt]

For all of the .270 WSM shooters out there:

What is your best all-purpose (target and hunting) load that you have found?

I am looking to try a couple of new loads out and would love to hear from some of the more experienced shooters.

140 gr. Accubond, 62.5 gr. Imr4350, Fed215, Win brass. 3150FPS. Model70 Winchester Supergrade, McMillan Stock. .25-.5 MOA.

This looks like it would be a fantastic load!

Have you been able to load a stable round in 140 or 150 gr. that consistently broke 3200fps while keeping a consistent p.o.i.?

140 Accubond over 63 gr of RL-19, .015 off the lands. Fed 215 primer.
I load for 3 270 wsm's, & every one of them likes Accubonds & between 61-64 gr of RL-19 around .010-.015
I've killed Bears with mine with exelent results. My cousin has killed Elk with this load in his, & if I can ever draw a deer tag, or antelope tag ill letcha know how the work on smaller critters too.
A lot of guys like 4350, & 4831. I only tried IMR 4831 with 150 sst's. Had great accuracy, but hated the terminal performance of the SST. So I swiched to the 140 Accubonds, & never looked back. Great allround bullet in the 270wsm.

The140 Accubond is about as all purpose as you can get in the 270 WSM, I like 71 gr of Retumbo in Rem cases lit with Fed 215's for 3340 fps in a 26in barrel. Thats a hot load in a 26in barrel, work up!!!

The tops is a 165 Matrix, 66gr of Retumbo in a Norma case lit with fed 215's for 3053 fps in a 27.5 in barrel, this load has been middle of the road I can go a few more grains but no accuracy.

Rem cases will handle a lot more, Norma won't take the pressure but is by far the best and Win is bottom of the heap.

My 270wsm load was the exact same only I had 66 grains of RL 19 out of a 24"bbl I was getting 3200 fps and 1/4" groups... i hate myself for getting rid of that gun.

I have a 270WSM load that is 69.5g of Retumbo with the 140g Accubond, Fed. 215 primer at about 2.870".

It shoots well and produces 3100FPS on a cool day in my Kimber 8400 with a 24" barrel(it measures 23" to the action). At 70g Retumbo the bolt lift starts to get a little sticky.
