[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 779262, member: 8358"] The sweet spot with 140 grain Hornady BTSP bullets loaded in RP brass and Win LRP primers in my Savage model 111 is 56.2 grains of H4831. But I will say this load is a little fickle, because it will shoot sub MOA some times (usually) and other times it is a 1.5+ MOA shooter. I just got my new Ruger American in 270Win and am going to start from scratch finding a load for it and hope the new rifle is more consistent. I had considered rebarreling the Savage but there wasn't much difference in money. If I were you, I would load up a few more with lower charge weights of powder and shoot them and progressively increase the charge until you either find the best accuracy or start seeing signs of excessive pressure, such as flattened primers or hard bolt lift. Usually I see the accuracy come together before getting near over pressure situations, especially with a slower burning powder like 4831. Hope this helps. Blessings, Dennis [/QUOTE]
