[QUOTE="Gunpoor, post: 1237775, member: 8358"] Starting at the listed minimum should be okay, just to remember to work up in small increments and shoot for accuracy while looking for signs of high pressure. The first sign of high pressure is primer flattening across to the case head, and the second sign is stiff bolt lift (if you are using a bolt gun). I would load the 270 in .5 grain increasing increments and .2 or .3 grain increase in the 223. STOP shooting if you see any of the over-pressure indicators mentioned above. If by then you don't see acceptable accuracy you may need to use a different powder or other component, or you may need to adjust seating depth. [/QUOTE]
