[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1845240, member: 85987"] I used H4831/130's since I started shooting the 270 in 86. I tried Rl 26 a few years ago. Now I'm running it exclusively in the 270. The 130's(sst, nos btip, SGK, and speer) can all be pushed to 3250 before I hit pressure I'm shooting the sst and Nosler at 3140 with 61.2 in FC brass. I'm also shooting the 140 game-changer at the same speed 3140. I ran up to 3190 but it shot well at the 3140 mark so I didn't go any further. My ES for 5 shots is 3fps. and it is accurate. This is a factory Weatherby vangard 24". I have done a ladder with 145eldx's and they too will run up close to 3200fps also but I have not pursued it due to having a ton of 130's to shoot up first. I'm loading a friend's with 150 interbonds and I hope to run the ladder test this weekend For the hammers I'd think Rl16 would be a better route to try. I don't think you will get to pressure with the slower powders. Steve [USER=930]@Hammer[/USER] would be a best source for powder choice. [/QUOTE]
