[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 827495, member: 10723"] I have shot a 270WSM for over ten years and have used many different powder and bullet combinations. One of my first loads that produced great results in my Winchester Model 70 was 140 grain Accubond and 60.5 grains of IMR-4350 in Norma cases with WLRM primers. That load has shot a 1.5 inch group at 300 yards. I have shot it at 100 yards many times with .3 to .5 inch groups. I wanted to get a little more velocity so I have tried RL-22 with the 140 Accubonds and I was able to get more velocity and close to the same accuracy. In the last few months I have started working with Retumbo and the same bullets. The Hodgdon web site show the max with Retumbo to be 71 grains. They also show that 780 Supreme produces the higher velocity. I have also shot Magpro which produced great velocity but not great accuracy. You have some work to do developing the best load for your gun. My best load may not be the one that works best for you, but with the powders that you listed you should be able to get the results that you are looking for. [/QUOTE]
