For almost ten years a pre64 M70 .270 was my only "big" rifle. For most of those years my only load was much like the rest of you, 60gr. of H4831 and 130gr. bullet, generally a Hornady. Later I came to believe that the 150gr. bullets might be a better all around load. Now, however after doing some expansion/penetration testing in wet newspaper with Nosler Partitions I'm not so sure it matters.
