270 Weatherby Loads - 165/175 Matrix

[cowboyarcher]

Hey Guys,

So I happened across a great deal on a 270 Weatherby built on an Interarms Mark X barrel. Has anyone worked up loads with the 165/175 gr Matrix bullets? I'm guessing that H1000 will be where the velocity is at with this combo. . .

Any thoughts?

Thanks all and God bless,

Adam

i have been shooting the 165 grain matrix in my 270 wby and using H-1000 using up to 73 grains but my rifle is very forgiving so drop way down and work up that losd is getting around 3080 fps

Sounds interesting, what twist is your Mark X barrel and what length?

I actually don't have the rifle yet. It is a 26" barrel, and I presume a 1:10" twist. My 270 Win at 7200' will stabilize the 175's, so I'm hoping this will also.

Did you get your gun?

My Mag length with this bullet is 3.36"

I touch the lands at 3.4" with this bullet with a 28" Benchmark barrel.

So far I am happy with H1000...cannot get too much more in the case with H1000...

Start with 72 grs of H1000. I stopped at 3300+ fps and had good results around 3225fps...
