Sounds good !!!! Anyone have some H4831 they want to trade for some RL19 ???

You're overthinking this.
Just run with the RL-19 you have.

Yea, I will. I was just trying to make a point that this post is about me asking for loads using RL19 for the 270, and I get some well-wishers telling me to use H4831 instead. I know they mean well, but it doesn't help the situation.
I will repeat what I said, I had a load long ago with RL19 and 130 Barnes TSX. Was getting 1/2" groups. I do not want to disclose because it is higher than what loading manuals say is max now. I suggest you work your way up, but you will get a good load with RL19

I plan to start with the starting load, and work up slowly. I'm more interested in accuracy than speed, so I'm expecting that to be around mid-range.

Keep in mind, Barnes monos like jump. If you don't find the accuracy you like, then you may want to play with seating depth.

I use them in my 30/06 and my .340 Wby, so I have a little experience reloading with them. The 30/06 was easy, just seating it to the last cannelure (toward the ogive), and the Wby was seated to the Factory COAL of their load.
