[QUOTE="liltank, post: 719077, member: 13275"] Now that I have a little time. Look into some good brass. You could always buy some Lapua 30-06 and run it through your 270 sizing die. That would give you some really good brass to start with. Another couple of good options would be Norma and Federal. Norma is right up there with Lapua, so you can't go wrong there. I just loaded some Federal brass for my brothers 270, and it is a tack driver. So on the affordable scale the Federal is the way to go. I loaded the 150 Hornady SST. It has the second best ballistic coefficient of the 270 bullets. Berger's 150gr Hunting bullet would be the best. There are some other smaller vendors that will provide a higher BC bullet. Matrix is the first that come to mind. They have BTHP in 165 and 175 grain that will stomp either of my first suggestions. Some guys are having good luck with them. IF you should go this route, stick with the 165's as they seem to be the best bullet for factory twist barrels. For powder can't go wrong with H1000, and H4831. There are some classic loads out there, but with the new powders, the 270 is a much better caliber than Jack O'Connor was touting it. There are some powders by Alliant that may be of consideration. Reloader 19, 22, 25, and Power Pro 4000MR. I prefer Alliant, but IMR and Ramshot should get a look also. Primers are mute point some times. Most will work, unless you get finicky. I prefer Federal 210M's, my cousin prefers CCI2BR's. I have had great results with Wolf primers also. You'll have to play around and see which works best for you.
