Maybe somebody here is willing to help....?
Unfortunately, he’s picked two of the most difficult components to find out there right now.
Just another thought:
Tell your buddy to order today one or two of the following...Barnes 127gr LRX, 130gr Nosler Partition or 140gr Hornady Interlock on MidwayUSA(all “In Stock” presently) and get busy with the load workup!
I shoot Nosler Accubonds myself and they are great bullets. But just about any good bullet out there will work just fine for sheep in the 270. And who knows if the Accubond will even shoot well in his rifle(sometimes they don’t).
I’d trust the 130gr Nosler Partition in my 270 out to a heck of a long ways on just about anything up to and including elk. And 270s aren’t usually finicky...most will shoot just about anything accurately.
Same goes for the RL25...Don’t get hung up on one powder. You’re bound to get disappointed. His 270 will work well with a bunch of different powders. See what’s in stock that’ll work and get ready for the hunt.
If I had a sheep hunt come up unexpectedly, I wouldn’t be wasting time.
Good luck to your buddy, whatever he decides.
