Seafire usually has all the reduces loads and the data to back them up. Maybe he will show up soon.
I like the 180 Horns for about everything in the 06. Wouldnt own a 270. Kill em all.

ya don't need much velocity for a 100 yds... cast bullet loads substituting a jacketed bullet works well..
One can duplicate Remington's Managed Recoil Products with IMR 4198, H 4198 or Rl 7...Remington's powder of choice was IMR 4198...
in the 06, they use 36 grains of IMR 4198 and a 125 gr bullet....I load close to that for kids, using 30 to 35 grs of 4198, and a 150 gr ballistic tip or a 150 grain bullet for 30/30s.. a preferred one is a 150 grain FN from Speer or Hornady...
at lower velocities like this, you won't see meat damage..
in the 270 Remington is using a 115 gr bullet, meant for the 6.8 SPC.. again they are using IMR 4198...
good substitutes are Sierra's 110 gr SP, or a good old 130,140 or 150 grain Ballistic Tip can be used... if that is what is desired...
for IMR 4198 in the 270, try loads between 28 to 33 grains to find something you may like...
with both 4198s and RL 7, you should find accuracy across the board....H 4895 loads can be bullseye accuracy with one load and then change it one minor bit and you'll find it throwing them all over the place...
if you want consistency and want to use a 4895 speed powder, then substitute IMRs... it is a lot more consistent than H 4895...
I like either round nose bullets for these applications or Ballistic Tips.... both will open up well at slower speeds, yet will penetrate surprisingly deep...more than most folks expect...
I hunt woods ranges locally here, and an MV of about 2400 fps regardless of the caliber I am carrying, is more than adequate to get the job down, out to 250 yds..
and since 90% of all game is taken within 100 yds, and 95% within 200.. I really don't need much more than that..
I don't believe in foot lbs, I believe in matching the bullet and MV to the game and distance we are going to be taking it at...
I don't need a load capable of 500 yds if I am not shooting antelope in Wyoming or Montana..... while at the same time, you aren't going to find me hunting antelope with a 30/30 speed load...
