Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 270 wsm powders

Getting a 270 WSM built Rem 700 with Brux barrel. What is everyone's favorite powder?

The best accuracy I've gotten has been with MagPro behind Nosler 160 grain partitions.

I never did get 130s or 150s to shoot very well in my 2 700s. (Sold both.)

(I can't really see doing another .270 WSM with the 6.5 PRC available. You didn't ask that though.)

So far, I’ve only messed with H4350 and H4831SC in my .270 WSM. I got my first load going with 140 Nosler BT’s and H4350 and just started testing H4831SC recently. Next. I’m going to use Magpro and RL26, maybe RL16 and RL23 as well.

Reloder 26 in my model 70 with a benchmark barrel. It shoots 145 ELD-X with 66.0 gr ~3220 & 150 ABLR with 65.5 gr ~3100

Reloder 23 in a Kimber I bought last year. It shoots ~.5 MOA with 64.0 gr and 145 ELD-X at ~3175 (I bought a #1 8 twist benchmark to rebarrel it to a 6.5 prc, but then I bedded and shot it so it'll stay a WSM).

H 4831sc & IMR 4451 both work good with 130 gr ballistic tips

I load 60.5 grains of IMR 4350 with a 140 Accubond. This shoots well in five different rifles I load for.

I hit early pressure with IMR 4955, IMR 7997, Retumbo, H1000 and H4831 under a 145 Eld-X. Switched to RS Magnum and finally reached 3100+ with good accurancy. Would definitely try Rl26 if i had it.

RL22 and 140s shot 1/2” in mine @ 3,115fps.

MagPro shot 130s and 140s well.

I used W760 in mine. I had both speed and accuracy, and it's one rifle I wished I had back.

My Winchester 70 FWT shoots lights out with Reloader 19 and Nosler 140 Accubonds.

How mych Magnum did you use, if you don’t mind?
TIA

I tried H1000 and RL26 when working up loads in my Tikka shooting 140g Accubonds. RL26 shot notably better.

I load Magpro and 140 gr. TSXes in my 270 WSM, MV of 3200 fps.
