[QUOTE="MontanaJack, post: 2963743, member: 25389"] I grew up in the 1950’s in a working class family. We had two powders to use because they were cheap, military surplus: IMR4831 and IMR4895. Those were simpler times wrt to cartridges too: 30-30, 300 savage, 270, 6.5Jap, and 8mm along with Gibbs wildcats. In a nutshell: 4831 for the 270 and 4895 for the 30-06. My dad’s go to elk killer was Herters 150gr round nose with 61gr IMR4831 in his 270 Gibbs with a muzzle velocity near 3000 fps. That combination filled the freezer for many years. I don’t remember the straight 270 load, but dad carried a one hole 5 shot group target in his wallet for many years to use when bragging about his Pre-war Model 70, 270 accuracy. He also was a Jack Oconner fan, Outdoor Life writer and 270 Win promoter. I grew up shooting white tail deer with a Remington Model 721 using 100 gr bullets and IMR 4831 powder. Our old 270’s loved it!! [/QUOTE]
