[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2459917, member: 109862"] And I myself haven’t used mine much in a few years but have done a bunch of handloading for a .270, it was my first rifle and will always have a special place for me. But my experience is with stock factory rifles with standard 10 twists. I don’t know how much experience you have or if you even handload: if you do and you’re less experienced (again, I don’t know) the only bits of advice I have are a) of the standard/cheaper brass manufacturers I think Winchester is the best, it’s roomier and has tougher primer pockets than the others…for premium brass Peterson does make .270 brass now, don’t know how attainable it is. B) you can use significantly slower burn rate powders than many reloading sources traditionally prescribe for the 270 - even out of my 22 inch barrel I’ve had awesome results with compressed loads of 7828 and rl25, neither of which are likely suggestions according to many. I don’t use anything faster than Rl22/23 or 4831 anymore. And the idea that shorter barrels will produce faster velocity with different burn rates than what yields maximum velocity in longer barrels had been thoroughly debunked! Again, welcome here and long live the .270 Winchester, the original long range “gateway cartridge” for many and to my mind the most deserving recipient of “the standard cartridge that doesn’t know it’s not a magnum” award haha [/QUOTE]
