Hi; I just picked up a Tikka in 270 WSM and want to work up some loads for it. I like the Nosler 140gr. Accubond bullet for deer and maybe the 160 gr Partition for elk. Hopefully some one can save me some time with a good reciept. It's a 22" barrel with a 1in 10 twist. Thx
Don't know if this helps or not but... I'd start with H4350 or IMR4350 and whatever bullet you choose. I'd also have some R17 and R19 on stand by..
I'd begin and end my powder search with a large keg of Magpro.
Work up to 74 grains or so behind that 140 and you'll be golden +P+.
Your Tikka is a 24 3/8" barrel. Same as mine
My load is 66 gr RL22 3150 fps and .55" at 100 yards
I use 70gns H1000 with 140gn Accubonds in my Win M70 .270WSM. Its a good accurate load.
I used Fotis' RL-22 reciept, and got groups less then a inch at 100yds. with out a Lead Sled. Thanks for your help.....Oneil
I use a 130 NAB or tsx with 66 gr of RL-22. 66 is not max for 130's, so I could probably bump by one, but I like the groups.
66/130 combo = 3,275 fps in my 24" 270wsm
R17 and the 4350s work really well in the cart.
RL17 pushing a 130TTSX to 3250fps takes care of both deer and elk for me
H-4831sc was always my choice in that cartridge.
