This afternoon I found some on the 150g 270's at sportsmans so I bought a box. I have a b series action 700 bdl in the basement that I picked up for a doner. It was very clean and in excellent shape so I never have torn it down. I just put a nitrex 3-9x42 on it and through together a few loads with the 150's over 7828 to try out. I've never been a big 270 fan but I've had a few and this load of 7828 used to run my 150 partitions at 3000 fps.

If this shoots with these AB LR's at 3000 it will have me considering a 270 again. I've got a few other long actions and some 1st gen ti barrels and I might be able to find a fluted Alaskan Ti barrel. I may be piecing together a loner/backup gun in 270. One good thing about 270's is that I can always get cheap brass and nosler usually has 2nds in that caliber.

There are quite a few using 7828 and getting right at 3000 with the new 150 ABLR's. Pretty good accuracy too. I kinda thought with this new bullet, it'll breath a little life into the old 270's that have been collecting dust for awhile.
