JWALL, When I got into reloading 270's, back in the early 70's, 4064 was commonly used by many folks. It was, and is, a pretty effective package. Over several decades of loading several 270's, I have found the caliber pretty easy to get along with. Perhaps out of context: Mule Deer once quoted a friend of his to the effect that a case full on nitrated manure under a good bullet would likely shoot well.
Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years. It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone..... Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.

I have used 4831, 4350, and RL22. I get the best velocity and accuracy in my rifle with RL22 and a 130gr. SST.

Any feedback on the Nosler 150gr, ABLR on paper & game? Is the 1-10" twist fast enough? Berger & Alliant shows RE26 gives the highest velocities w/ the 140 & 150 gr loads. Experience w/ RE26? Thanks, Mark

I agree RL26 will give the highest velocity with 140gr or 150gr 270 bullets. But I think I get a little accuracy with Norma MRP in the 150gr bullets. With the 140gr bullets my most accurate load is with RL23 at about 3050fps. I can get 3125fps or so with the RL26 and MRP. Superformance also gives about 3050fps with the 140gr bullets.

My old Remington loves 130 gr. ballistic tips, 56.1 gr H4350 with OAL of 3.499". This is quite a bit longer than standard, but my rifle has a long throat and luckily the magazine will feed it OK. This gives me more case capacity. If you can't seat out that long, this might be an over load in your rifle. I'm getting .75" or so 3 shot groups. Most times it goes right through a deer, even at 400 yards.
This rifle absolutely loved H450. If I would have known it was going out of production I would have bought a bunch. I would regularly get three shots into the threes with that powder.

My current favorite load for my old Husky is a 110 gr TTSX over 63.3 gr of Hunter with a CCI 200 in WW cases.
I was impressed this spring by a 140 gr Accubond pushed by a heavy dose of IMR4831. It hit a decent boar black bear right in the near shoulder joint at 67 yards. The nose and most of the middle portion of the bullet is gone but the jacket and base are intact. The bear dropped at the shot. The bullet didn't exit but impressed me with its toughness.
Another load that I sometimes use out of a bear blind (took a sow a few years ago with it) is a bit odd but very accurate and effective at close range. I use a Woodleigh 180 gr over 53.5 gr of H4831. It chronied 2388fps out of a Rem 700 with a 22" barrel.
I'm partial to a 270 so I play with 'em a good bit.

Shot my 2 favorite loads with the 270 today. 59.0gr of MRP with 150gr Nosler partition at about 3070fps. Or 58.5gr of RL23 with 140gr Trophy Bonded Tipped at 3050fps. Both loads will be under 1" at a 100yards. maybe less. Probably going to us the RL23 load because it gets below zero in Canada.

I'm getting good results with a 130 Gr Accubond over 56 gr of IMR 4451. Good 200 yd accuracy in several rifles. I need to chrono it. I'm guessing 3100?

My current .270 load is 43.2 grains of IMR 4350/CCI 200 pushing a 140 gr. Hornady BTSP. Rocking along at about 2775 out of my A-bolt. I also have had great groups with 55.0 gr. IMR 4350/CCI 200 and the 130 gr. Speer Grand Slam. The same load can be used for the 130 gr. Sierra BTSP, but I'm not a big Sierra fan.

I tried to recall from memory, but it was probably 52.3

N8dawg6: My Remington 700 Sendero in 270 Winchester just loves the wonderful Nosler 130 grain Ballistic Tip bullets with Federal 210M primers and H4831 SC powder. This Nosler Ballistic Tip bullet is not just amazingly accurate it is wonderfully lethal on Deer and Antelope size game. Some threads (like the superb 270 Winchester cartridge!) are to great to die. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy P.S.: By the way you made a BIG mistake selling that Sendero!

I'm curious about this one. Working on a load with the Sierra Tipped GameKings and Reloder 23. Sierra lists a max load of 55.9, but your load is similar to several I have seen with Re 23 and 140s, as well as QL runs that show a max in the high 58 range. Anyone have any experience with this combo? I realize every rifle is different and the need to start low and work up, but this seems like a very large discrepancy.

Youngest daughter's Rem. 700 with a 24" barrel loves Rem. brass, WLR primer and 55gr. of IMR-4350 with just about any 129-130 gr. bullet I've tried. Right now I'm loading the 129gr. Barnes LRX as it's the same bullet my 270 Wthby loves. Both rifles boringly shoot that bullet into sub inch groups.
I've tried IMR-4831, RL-19, H-4831 and IMR-4064, but the above load is the clear winner.
