IMR4831 (which is faster than VV560 and slower than RL22) is the powder preferred by many .270 Win. users for these weights.
IMRs data didn't show particularly good velocity, I want to get 3100-3200 out of my 24" barrel.
If Rl-22 doesn't work for me I will try the 4831, I've tried 4350 but I can't get good accuracy with 130 grainers, I can get .6" with 90gr hollowpoints though
I have gotten some good results using the SST's with my factory Rem 700. I tried several powders and found that RL-22 worked good in the 2950 range but as I worked it up the groups spread. I only have a 22" barrel so that is getting up on the top end for mine.
I swapped over to Ramsot hunter early last year and found that I could hit 3100 with the 130gr SST and the groups were great ranging under 1" at 200yds, with some going under.
I haven't tried the Barnes in a while nor the 140's. However when I did shoot the 140gr BT I used RL-22 and found it geave the best results.

In my factory Rem. 700 with 24 inch barrel and the Sierra 130 Gameking I get outstanding accuracy and average 3125 fps with 60 grs H-4831. This bullet does a number on a deer. BANG FLOP.
