Granddaughter killed this last season with a Sako 270. Went through both shoulders at 250 yards. Dead right there. Just south of San Angelo, Cull buck ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/ydTf8XjK/6-FA604-B1-C994-4-B3-C-9835-73-BD148-D1454.jpg)

Depends what you're doing. For a pleasant range toy, I use 42 grains of h4895 and a 130. Low recoil and good accuracy. Filled my tag with it last year too. I will never use this load EVER, but interesting to read what people will do that are so inclined to do such things

It's a 130 at 2700 fps. Basically a long action creedmoor and it got the job done. No need to burn 60 grains of powder to shoot a 130 pound deer at 150 yards for sure.

3200 with 130 fed fusions is easy.

I've used IMR 4831, IMR 4350, H4831sc, and lately IMR 4451. They all worked.

CCI 209 primer and 61gr. of RL26 moves either a 130gr. TBT or a 129gr. LRX at 3220fps. Groups both bullets under an inch and to the same POI at 100yds. My daughter’s Rem 700 loves 55gr. IMR-4350 and a 129 LRX at 3075fps.

I took a couple 270's out to the range just now got in. I was planning on loading up some 130 grain partitions but when I pulled one of the MTM boxes out, it was full of old loads, and I thought I'd try them - I don't have a record of how they shot before and with what rifle - these were 5 shot groups
270 Remington 700 BDL (SS Barrel), 130 grain Remington CL, CCI200, 61 grains H4831sc, 0.71 MOA
270 Remington 700 ADL, 130 grain Remington CL, CCI200, 61 grains H4831sc, 0.96 MOA

I was going to mention the same. My most accurate load of any rifle to date is in a .270 Win with Magpro and Berger 140 gr VLD Hunters, I’m sure it would do other with 130 gr. ones as well.

Using the 129gr LRX, I had three shot 3/4- 1 MOA with RS Hunter, Fed215, Win cases, in my Remington 783.Velocity was ~3150 fps. Then I ran out and it's hard to find. Am going to try 6.5 Staball next which I also tried in a Win XPR with the Hornady GMX 130 gr. It shot in the low 3100 fps at ~1 MOA. I can't experiment much do to the lack of primers...Mark and Belle.

I've only ever tried IMR4350 and had good results so decided to stick with it and haven't tried anything else.
