[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 1860174, member: 26227"] wow, this is an interesting thread. so I must contribute a little. I have been shooting 270 Win since 1986-ish. the best powder I ever had for that caliber was AA-3100. I am depressed that Accurate Arms saw fit to eliminate that wonderful powder. I also liked H-1000 until I discovered that H-4350 and H-4831 shot far better and were less picky about the temps and environmentals. I had such consistent results with H-4350 and H-4831 that I never put another H-1000 load together. I have also gotten IMR powders that worked well in my 270's. 4350 and 4831 did well too, also 7828 in some projo weights did well. RL-19 with monos worked but not as well as other powders in 140 grain slugs. RL-22 did work well in 150 grain when I saw a need for that heavy of a slug. Just recently, 4 years ago, did I discover Berger and their heavier slugs for the 0.277" bore diameter. I have plans for a 270 WSM and a 27 Nosler with 1:8" or 1:7" twist rate barrels so I can hurl the 150 VLD through 175 VLD slugs long distances. then I will be coming here for help with load development as well. My 270 Win's do not like over a 135 grain slug. my 270 WSM's love 140 and above but can not stablize the 150's well and will not stabilize Barnes 150's. the Berger 150 through 175 will definitely not stabilize. Hence, the plans for a couple of 1:8" or 1:7" twist barrels. [/QUOTE]
