B: I understand what you are saying.... I've been loading and killing with a 270 for 45+ years... smile

You just added 50 fps to my "best" 150 NPT load for the 270 from 25 years ago. Not to criticize it; it's nice, but I have seen these sort of things before with MRP, N205, H205, RL25, 7828, etc so all of this is really not new for me.

Improvements in velocity are very incremental and after years of watching this sort of thing with new miracle powders and doing it myself, I concluded a long time ago if I want more velocity I buy a bigger case. This is far safer and easier than the pressure "guessing" we all do without a ballistics lab,and trying to get a smaller case to behave like a bigger one. smile

I always thought the 7 Rem Mag recoil was pretty trivial....we are only talking another 4-6 gr of powder after all....... wink

If I want I can move a 150 gr bullet from a 7 RM at almost 3200 fps.Even the Nosler Manual shows almost a 200 fps gain over your 270 load.

No matter what we do the 270 gets left behind. Yes I know it still kills.



The 280 Remington is overbore.

The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
