I have read some amazing results with the .270 and the newer powders. I traded for a Winchester Mod 70 awhile back. It loves the Hornady Whitetail 130-grain ammo and so did not have a reason to load for it. I realized that I only had about a half box of ammo left, so went to the local gun shop. All they had was the 140-grain stuff, so I decided that it was time to start loading for the old girl. They had a box of Sierra 130-grain Spitzers. The Hornady factory 130 only clocks about 2970, so I think that I am going to try to get close to that same load with the Sierras. I have some IMR4831 that should do nicely.

I don't need to hot rod this rifle, so it should be easy to get a load worked up. I think that for a person that is a one-rifle guy, it would be hard to beat a 150-grain premium at 3000 fps, from the .270.


You did not "seen" anything, you "saw" it.
A "creek" has water in it, a "crick" is what you get in your neck.
Liberals with guns are nothing but hypocrites.
