Anyone willing to share accurate loads for 270 WSM? Going to start with berger 140 vld's and 140accubonds. Give specifics if you would and ...hell, post photos of your best groups. Thank you

Mine is:
140 gr. VLD
Win. Brass
CCI 250 primers
69 gr. Retumbo
3100 fps
This is a 5 shot group at 200 yrds from my last trip to the range. Fouler shot bottom left.

Nice. Ill have to try that. The load that printed a half dozen groups in the 1's-2's from out of the box Tikka was 63.0 of AA3100 fed brass, WLRM primers velocity only 2940's but who cares..
 
One of my rifles that never displayed a lot of accuracy potential suddenly started shooting very well with a similar load of Retumbo and 140 accubond.

I was not pleased with the performance on game(dime sized exit holes)and currently shoot a 130 Berger Classic Hunter and RL 22 in that rifle at a whopping 3000 fps. The load has been devastating on deer out to 400+(fist sized exit holes). I can load the same bullet up to 3200+.
 
Noz 140gr ballistic tips, win brass, fed 215m primer, RL19 61gr.

Gun is a Tikka T3 lite Stainless. 100yd ,.430, 200yd,.680, 300yd, .75, 400yd 2.0.
Do not know what the jump is. had a smith load the first 50 and loaded the rest to that. Velocity is 3080, verified . cannot locate to pics to prove info above.
enjoy and I hope the info helps
 
My Tikka T3 liked this combo:

61 Grs RL-22
140 AB
Fed 215 Primer
2.85 OAL (Mag length)

Velocity is on the slow side (2850), but it shot so great, I didn't care to mess with it. 2 WY black bears never complained about the velocity either!
 
Are you guys shooting 5 shot strings with a sporter contour barrel? Or you spacing them out a bit. My barrel gets hot fast.

I'm shooting 130gr ttsx around 3300 using r19
 
Re: 270 WSM pet loads?

I try to wait a few minutes between shots but not crazy amounts of time like some guys. I'm on a workin mans schedule. I did get a chance to verify my load/velocity 3065fps to 600yds. Droppin 10.7minutes at sea level.
