[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1670413, member: 109862"] this is my exact situation as well. Haven't done any handloading in 3 years now, going to get started right away here. Ive acquired some stuff to play with and don't really have time to play! So I settle for 10 minute windows here and there to read about what others are doing and talk guns on this forum because it's better than nothing and perhaps one really can live vicariously through the experiences of others. Hodgdons data shows really good things with 7977 and 150s in the 270. I've also got 4451 and 4955 from the enduron series unopened, just itching to be burned already! What I have found is the 270 shines even brighter when we go to even slower burn rates that 4831. I've heard it said and tentatively agree that perhaps more than any other cartridge the 270 winchester is the cartridge that doesn't know it's not a "magnum" and even its preference in powder reflects that for me. I've had great results with 4350-4831 rate powders but honestly even better with 7828, 7828 ssc, rl 22, and rl 25 (which you never hear about as a 270 powder). Really looking forward to trying the 4955 and 7977, and if I get my hands on RL23 (possible for sure) or RL26 (I suspect naively optimistic to even mention it's name) I think they'll rock too.
