I never clocked them. I had moved on to looneyism, with multiple powders and bullets before I ever owned a chronograph.

I have shot H4831 exclusively for the last 20-25 years. That is until recently when I have played with some Ramshot Magnum and Rel 26 with 150's.

My go to 130gr load is 60gr H4831sc with a WLRM and various monometals and the BT. It invariably clocks from 2950 to 3100 with most falling in the 3000 range depending on the 270 rifle I am shooting it in.

I have all the various 130gr bullets listed above loaded and ready to go. Most rifles will shoot one of loads MOA and most will shoot two of them. Because of that we have shot multiple deer/antelope with the T/TSX, GMX and BT. I am adding the Nosler E-tip into the mix this summer. Because of that I hope to add it to list of successful bullets used in our 270's.

Our list of successful bullets used.
85gr TSX
100gr AB
110gr AB
110 TSX
110 TTSX
110gr Sierra
130gr Hornady SP
130gr GMX
130gr BT
130gr T/TSX
140gr X
140gr Hornady BTSP
150gr Hornady SP
150gr NP
150gr Grand Slam

On paper I can add
145gr ELD-X
150gr LRAB
150gr Berger
150gr BT
160gr NP
180gr Woodleigh Marginal stability and poor groups in a 1:10.

My next rebarrel will be at least a 1:9 if not 1:8 because I would like to play with 170 Bergers and the 180 Woodleighs some more. Just need to get busy shooting the next 270 barrel out.
