Most factory 130 loads were doing around 2,850 - 2,950 about ten years back, which may have been the last time I shot any factory 270s. The light magnum loads were closer to advertised velocity.

I would look no further than the classic 130 Hndy. and 60 grains of H4831 if you want to gain some velocity. This Jack OConner load has worked in every 270 I have tried it in.

A few finicky ones might do better in velocity or accuracy with R22 but not enough of a difference to have multiple loads.
