270 Weatherby Loads

[Lenny Foffa]

I have a Weatherby Mark V Deluxe purchased new in 1979 . 26 inch #2 barrel, 10 Twist . I am also working up a 150 Grn Mule Deer loads for this 270 Weath Mag. So far the 150 Grn Accubonds LR ( G-1 BC =591 ) / 65.5 Grns H 4831 / Fed 215M ,shoot very well at 100 yards. Its to cold right now for load testing so next month I will increase the load , 65.7 and 66.0 grns . and also shoot at 300 yards. My Hope is to get close to 3000 fps using H 4831 , and Zero the rifle at 300 yards. I think that will make the drop at 400 yards 9 inches or less? If I can get the drop to to under 8 inches ,I wont have to adjust the scope for a deer sized target from 100 to 400 yards . Can any one suggest an on Line Ballistic Calculator????

My 270 Wby loves 7828. Pushing 140 Accubonds at crazy velocity with great accuracy. Has taken several elk and lots of deer without a failure. It's my goto rifle for any hunt.

Thanks Buddy!!!!. This rifle took two mule deer and an antelope in 1980 in Wyoming, with 67.2 Grns. of IMR 4350 /130 grn. Boat tail Game Kings / Fed 215 M Primers. Old Horn Book said 3375 fps. That is no longer a published load. This 270 Weatherby Mag , and my Weatherby Ultralight in 270 Win. are two of my favorites. I use the .270 Win , every year ,for Whitetail deer on farms here in the east , the 270 Weatherby mag for deer of any kind far away !!!!!!
