I reload for a 270 win. I have tried nosler ballistic tips in weights ranging from 150 to 130 grains. I had 3 1/4 inch groups at 600 yards with the 150's and larger than a minute of angle with the 130's. I used Winchester 760 for both load, 46 to 48 grains with 150's and 52 to 54 grains with 130's. I am now going to try some Hornady bullets, 110 grain hollow points and 130 grain boat tail soft points. I was wondering what are some other accurate loads for my 270 win.
 
Work up to 62 grs of H4831 with the 130s. Drives tacks in every 270 win I have ever tried it in. Usually shoots well 10 to 20 thousands off the lands.
 
From Dan Newberry's website OCW Overview - Dan Newberry's OCW Load Development System

270 Winchester using IMR 4350
130 grain bullet, 55.0 grains

.270 Winchester using H4831
130 grain bullet, 60.0 grains (O'Conner's load) Do some research on O'Conner's loads. Good Info.

.270 Winchester using IMR 4350
150 grain bullet, 52.5 grains



I shoot 140 gr. Berger Hunting VLD's, with 52.6 gr. of AA 4350, Federal 210 Primers in Nosler custom brass. .462" max spread at 100 yards.
 
With 130 grain bullets like Part
RL 22, H4831 or MRP @ 61.0
Fed 210 Match Primer in WW case

With 150 Nosler part
Same powder @ 59.0
 
I've used R22 and 130gr bullets of various manufacturer in variety rifles with different brass. I prefer any mag primer with no crimp. I load them out to mag length.

I prefer Winchester brass, then Remington, then Fed and Hornady. I don't shoot mixed brass in a set, because of the various internal dimensions. On cartridges such as 270, 30-06, 7 mag and 300 win mag, don't mix brass and nickel.
 
IMR 4350 is the powder I always return to for the 270 - after you exhaust everything make sure your stock screws are torqued properly and then start playing with your seating depth.
