Congratulations to both of you!
4064 doesn't throw the best but it's a great option. I find the recoil feels less.
He told me he wanted 49.0 grains of IMR-4064 and any 130 grain bullet i could find back then,usually Serria.
This load might not be the fastest or max load but it still shoots in all of the 270 rifles i have tried it in.
Still to this day i don't know how fast it is going,but it gets there in style. To this day, no idea what the actual velocity is. And don't care. It works....
gwrench - Yes it feels and is less recoil because of less powder and velocity. Not a criticism.
Guys from several years of chronographing and 'several' 270s with 22" blls.....
49 grs 4064 and 130s (depending on lots of brass & primers) the AVERAGE velocity is +/- 2900 fps.
That was one of JOC's loads and it was in my first Sierra manual as an accurate load.
I killed several WT with that load. It is accurate and
it DOES work.
