[QUOTE="Roughwater, post: 654322, member: 33915"] Thanks to all who contributed their thoughts here. I loaded up 6 more bullets yesterday and went to the range today and had better success with these bullets than I even expected at this point in time. Three of the Matrix 165gn hunting VLD bullets were shot from the 270 winchester and they shot great! However the first bullet hit my difuser for the chrony and who knows where it went but the other 2 bullets were touching. The load was the same one from my last post and indeed they averaged over 2800 FPS (2810 FPS). Not super velocity but I checked a Ballistic Calculater and it will have quite a bit more energy and Velocity than a average 140 gr bullet with a MV of 3000 FPS at 4 and 5 hundred yards. That load was from once or more fired Norma cases trimmed to 2.536 and neck sized only with a bump neck bushing die with 61 Gn of Magpro powder and the bullet was set at .085 from the lands. WLRM primers were used. I tried in some prevouse loads Federal Gold medal Match Magnum primers but they didn't seem to work well with the Magpro powder. I think the Magpro needs the hottest primer you can find. Keep in mind this is an unpublished load and most likely too hot for some rifles so start around 58 grains and slowly work up. The other 3 rounds were for the 270 WSM and they shot OK at 1 1/8" 3 round group at an average of 2915 FPS but that was with new full length sized norma brass trimmed to 2.092. With a little tweaking I am sure I can trim that group down somewhat. I'm good with the velocity for both these rifles with the Magpro powder but I'll probably expierment with some other powders too. I don't know how the Magpro will do in Cold weather so I'll expeirment with some slower burning of the Extreme powders like H1000 etc to see if I can come close to the same numbers with these sporter rifles.
