56 grains of RL-22 gave very good accuracy in my .270 with 150-grain partitions but I never chronographed the load. That same powder charge with 160 grain partitions also gave very good accuracy and chronographed just over 2,700 fps. Many guys don't like the .270 160-grain partition because it's "only" a semi-spitzer but it actually has a better ballistic coefficient (.434) than the 130-grain partition (.416) and the 140-grain partition (.432). It also has a great sectional density of .298 and has been very accurate in every .270 rifle in which I've tried it.


Keep your gun-hand ready and your eyes peeled.
