[QUOTE="green 788, post: 101895, member: 3781"] 63 grains of IMR 4350 is Nosler's accuracy load with their 150's in the 7 mag. That load should serve your dad well. Nosler gets their velocity numbers from custom (and hand lapped) Lilja barrels. Their numbers are always high. Speer's velocity numbers are more realistic, I have found. Hodgdon shows good approximate velocities also. IMR's data shows 2931 fps with about 61 grains of their 4350. I think your dad's rifle is doing great--and it will be very effective to 500 yards and even farther on large game. Velocity isn't the "be all end all" of game killing, and according to at least some presumably in the know, too much velocity can actually [i]impede[/i] a clean kill.

On your .270 win... Sounds like it's doing very well for you. You've got a [i]fast[/i] barrel there. Many 24" barrels won't make 3000 fps with the 130's and the charge of 4350 you mention. While on the subject, you should work up to 55.0 grains of IMR 4350 with your 130's. I think you'll find the tried and true accuracy node right there--unless I miss my guess.
