.270 winchester

[papa45]

I have been loading .270 Win for about 25 years for my factory Rem 700, 22" barrel, and have recently been experimenting with some new loads.

My long-time load is a Hornady 130 gr SP over 56.0 gr IMR 4350 at 3060 fps.

I could not get a 130 gr SST to group well.

A Nosler 150 gr Partition over 54.0 gr IMR 4350 gives me 2930 fps, with marginal accuracy.

I am tweaking a new load with a 140 gr Accubond over 55.0 gr IMR 4350 at around 3000 fps that groups well.

As always, every rifle is different. I could not get good results with RL-22. My go-to powder for several calibers is IMR 4350.

I use H4831SC for my 270s. I have found very good accuracy and performance using 130gr Ballistic Tips for deer sized game. I never put the Accubonds to meat, but accuracy was about the same.

Winchester brass and primers, shooting IIRC 3160fps from a 24" barrel with a moderate load.

I used R 19 pushing 140 gr Barnes TSX. I got about 3100 fps out of my 26" Remington Sendero.

Initial results now that I got my rifle back with new stock,

I can get .5" with a 140gr accubond over 57gr ADI AR2213SC (H4831SC equivilent I think) at 2941FPS average, groups opened up for the 2 powder charges above that that I tried, but there were no pressure signs so I will load some a bit hotter and see what sort of velocities I can get, hopefully something over 3,000 will group
