Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters What premium bullet/load to get .270 Win 140 gr. to 3,100 fps safely with 24" barrel?

You'll get very close with R22, but it would be wise to work up carefully.

I actually worked up to 3040 to 3050 fps with the 150g SST using both R22 and H4831SC. The 4831 load was so full it pushed the bullet out a little but it still fitted the mag and shot very accurately. It did nit seem to be breathing excessively heavy either. Eventually backed off to around 2940fps.

3000fps is really plenty though with a 140 grainer. Try some R22.
