What powder do you have on hand?

I have rl 17 & 19 & 22 &4831sc & 7828 sc. Just about about anything really. Just need a good starting point.

Hello:
I worked up a load with the 145 eld-x in my Tikka 270 wsm with reloader 26 that turned out to be
the most accurate hunting load that I,ve ever tested. I Did a ladder test for seating depth and it came
up with an oddball .080 from lands.
I worked up to 67.3 grains with Fed 215 primers and got an average of 3210 fps, slighty flattened
primers and constant sub 1/4" groups at 2.900 oal.
Every rifle likes something else but this is what worked for me.

I forgot to mention that this load was developed with Remington brass which has about one more
grain capacity than Norma brass has.

Why don't you just find load data in maybe the nosler books for a 150 gr and start low and just work it up from there ? Seems pretty safe to me.

I load my REM700 270WSM with MagPro: 130gr Sierra ProHunter with 74.5gr, 140gr Accubond with 72.0gr, 150gr SGK with 69.0gr
Also, now working on Alliant 4000-MR with 150gr SGK and it's looking good.

Neither H4831SC, IMR4350, nor IMR7828 did well for me.
