[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 700103, member: 2011"] Happy to see the interest and use of the 270 Win cartridge. It's a good one!!! I've shot one for 45 years. Rebarrelled after about 35 years. Favorite powders for 130 and up offerings: 4831 - Least favorite - Lacked velocity in my rifle 4350 - Too hot for maintaining 3200 FPS but used it for decades. About 20 shots per case. N205 (The very best powder for Vel and Accuracy) RL-22 - Same as N205 with a ton less quality control, so I hear. Loose 130 FPS MV from summer to less than 20*F winter. However, this didn't seem to make much difference in harvest success out to 500 yards or so. @ 650 and beyond it wouldn't work, I'd think. 7828ssc for 150s Used same charge weights for Nosler 130 & 140 and Berger 140 VLDs. Velocity is right at 3200 for these bullets. For light bullets I shot only the Sierra 90gr Hp. 54.5 of 4895 gave 3400 FPS. Average accuracy was .75 MOA until I replaced the circa 1966 Douglas Premium with a 27" Lilja. Expected accuracy is now under .5 MOA. [/QUOTE]
