Yes, I had been shooting the Berger 140's and thought I'd try the 150's.

Out of my old sporter 270 they shoot 2733-2743 with 55.0 H4831

I get 2830 ish from 58G H4831 with the 140's and 2905 with 59G

Groups apear about the same for this ol girl- .4-.7s

On a footnote: 58G with 140 accubond did 2950 and what really peaves me is the Factory Hornady Lightmags 130's do 3250!!! WTF
But, the accuracy of the bergers is on par or better than matchkings for me. Go figure.

I have used H4831 shortcut almost exclusively in my 700 Mtn in .270. I usually use Hornady Interlock SP's. 130 grn bullets get around 3100 fps with 60.0 grns and 150 grainers get about 2900 fps with 58.0 grns of powder. These two loads somehow shoot to the same point of impact at point blank ranges. Standard and short cut both gave the same results. Both shoot well under an inch, on average about .7" with many at 1/2" at 100 yds. And that's in a late-80's tupperware stock. After reading about RL22 and H1000 here I'll have to give them a try.

Clark,

Do you have a load for a 110gr BTHP using IRM4895 for the 270? I have a box of 110 bullets for my 270 I would like to load up using my 4895 powder.

Thanks

I have found this freek load in my .270Win with 26" barrel. I loaded the 150gr Hornady Interbonds with a slow burning powder to shoot at a velocity of +-2940fps. When loading the 110gr Nosler Accubonds I had used a faster burning powder to produce a velocity of +-3300fps. My suprise was that it grouped at exactly the same impact point at 100meter. Now I have a good bush load for Kudu and without changing settings on my scope I have a good Karoo flat's load for Springbuck. No more adjustment when changing bullets! I have further tried to get the 130gr bullets grouping in the same area as the bullets above, but that did not work - the grouping of the 130 bullets were constantly impacted +-3" below the bullets above.

I just got some Berger vlds in 150 grains. I plan to shoot them with 4831sc. Has anyone tried these bullets before? My gun has a 23 inch sporter barrel. Or should I use hybrid 100 v? I have a pound left of that that I never got to try.

For the lighter bullets you need a faster burning powder, whereas with the heavier bullets the burn rate should be slower. Go to the Hodgdon / IMR Website for load data on various powders:
