[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 1625447, member: 104363"] I'm a Hodgdon guy (Extreme powders) but must confess on a .270 Win with 130 gr Sierra game king #1820 SPBT I shot 10 into a ragged 5/8" hole, using Reloader 22 at the typical 100 yds. This from a custom Mauser 98 with a 26" Shilen barrel. Speeds were 3100 fps just below max charge. I tried my favorite '06 powders (Varget and H4831SC) but this rifle/powder combos just couldn't group as well. I just stopped searching right here at Re22. It's a hunting rifle... Just start digging into the info from powder manufacturers and see if your friends supply some sample powders (or you buy) that match the load data and start experimenting carefully. You might be surprised what your rifle responds to. [/QUOTE]
