Just a couple of comments.

A. There is no pressure guessing. I called Alliant - all loads posted are within SAAMI.

B. I've always found Noslers load data a bit optimistic.

C. Still not my point as to running same bullets faster. If I want to run them faster I'd buy a larger case. BTDT. I can assure you 70+ grains of powder under a 160 recoils more than 60-61 grains undera 150 in a 270. The only scope burn I've ever gotten has been with various 7 mags through the years running 160s at 3000.

D. I'm not exactly a 270 virgin. Bought my first in 1979 or 80, shot various deer and similar creatures with it including a couple of mule deer and antelope in 1982/83 around Thermopolis.

At the end of the day, I'm not throwing dirt on the 7 mags. I thought I'd share my loads with others and I've been accused of pressure guessing and somehow running the ragged edge of sanity. I don't get it.
