[QUOTE="bearcat2, post: 1721537, member: 18832"] I've only used 4064 to load min loads for my 9 year old brother-in-law to shoot. Not even sure what I originally bought the powder for now, but I apparently didn't care for it and since I had an almost full jug laying around it seemed like a good powder for a 9 year old to shoot daddy's gun and ring steel at a hundred yards (occasionally) without ripping his shoulder off and developing a flinch. RE-22 always shot great in every 270 I loaded for but it is temp sensitive (I've had excellent accuracy out of all the reloader powders I've used in different calibers, but I've also had some issues at zero to subzero temperatures so am veering away from them in any gun that might be used in those temps) 7828 SSC does well also. Just remember DON'T use load data for 7828 long cut. You WILL have pressure signs! (don't ask me how I know this, I'm an idiot) Ramshot also makes their Magnum powder which is a hot powder (over 3100 with 150's out of my 270) and a joy to use on the reloading bench, I've never used another rifle powder that meters so evenly. I've had good accuracy with it in most guns I've tried it in. I've never tried the ELDX bullets, had poor luck with Hornady big game bullets in the rifles I've tried them in (varmint and pistol bullets I've had excellent luck with) if you want an expensive bullet with a poor bc, but that is absolutely devastating on game and superbly accurate in every 270 I've ever fed it to, I always recommend Grand Slams for a 270. I don't always shoot them because there are other bullets that do a perfectly good job, but they are the best bullet I've ever tried in a 270 and when performance and accuracy are really important and I'm packing a 270 that's what I'm feeding it [/QUOTE]
