[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 955413, member: 42308"] The powders that you have on the shelf are all real good choices. Personally, I prefer the SC version of H4831 FWIW it gets along well in my rifle with the 230g Berger OTM, "standard cut" is a compressed charge. SC is not. I also really like Norma URP in my rifle with Nosler 150g BT or even the Hornady 150 SST (different charge weights) right about at 3,000 fps (2,993 Nosler BT). It's similar to R-17 which I also utilize. IMO if you can get a load that shoots accurately in both it will likely be found with one of the 4831 powders, MRP may be a tad slow for 150g bullets from the .30/06. I'm not certain you will get a full burn in the barrel and velocity may suffer. YMMV. The expansion ratio of the .270 favors MRP (moreso with 140g bullets). In the end whatever shoots with the best accuracy at the best velocity should be where you settle. Have fun with it and be safe. [/QUOTE]
