Got some of those sitting here, probably worth a look. I have no desire to go lighter than 140's even in the 270 Win, have a 260 Rem for those.

Please drop a couple of grains and work up.

Thanks for the info, Of those I have H 4350 and H 4831 sc, also IMR 7828ssc. For newer powders IMR 7977 and RL 26 look to be good candidates for the 270 Bee.

This rifle had a Shilen SS match barrel, 1 in 10 twist. Shot this rifle a lot of years just replaced barrel. Liked the first one so much I replaced it with another one. Hasbeen


It really should be more popular, the only other Weatherby round I might consider is the 7mm version but the 270 Wby would do everything I would ever want to do. Besides I have all these extra .277 bullets sitting here........
