[QUOTE="30calyooper, post: 1859939, member: 107258"] 270 Winchester load - With Win brass and a just about any standard (non-magnum) primer, I use 55.0 grains of H4831SC behind any 150 grain bullet you care to try. Velocities will vary (usually 2750 - 2900 or so) with the rifle and of course which bullet you choose, but the accuracy hovers around 1/2 MOA or better with all of them. Over the years I have run this set up with at least 5-6 different pills out of numerous rifles, everything from a Browning lever to a Ruger #1 to I don't know how many different bolt actions (but at least 4 of my own.) Of course, standard cautions apply - always match COAL to your rifle, staying out of the lands when chambered. And in any handloading exercise - watch for pressure signs! You may have to tweak this up or down a bit to optimize the results in your rifle, depending on the bullet you choose to work with...generally start with recommended COAL and you'll probably be okay. Can't say I've actually seen the need to tweak the powder charge, as adjusting the COAL slightly dialed in the accuracy for me...assuming that your launcher's magazine gives you the room to play. But that said, plus or minus a half-grain of powder might work for you. I've watched more than a couple deer and elk fall over after meeting this recipe. Pick the right bullet for the game you are hunting, tweak the load to your launcher, and enjoy your 270! [/QUOTE]
