Any of you guys have Berger Loading data on 270WSM with the Berger .277" 150gr. Hunting VLD bullet and with H1000 & Retumbo? Start and max loads?
 
H1000 start 61grn max 68grn

retumbo start 63grn max 70grn

thats from berger manual pg.589

270 wsm 150grn vld hunting
 
I did 62 grains of imr 7828. I think max load for 150 berger with imr7828 is 62.9 grains. this is from berger manual.
will see how they shoot this weekend and report back.
 
Thanks for the info guys. Mooseknuckles, I don't have any of the 7828 powder, but I'm sure others will be interested in your results.
 
Just a follow up report for those interested in this combo. I ended up with 67.5 gr of H1000, then did seating depth testing per Berger's recommendations, ended up at .080 off the lands. Confirmed the load on 3 separate trips to the range, repeatable 1/2" or less groups at 100 yds.
