Picked up a 270 w a 26” custom barrel. Have 130 grain bullets on hand. What would be your powder of choice for 270 with 130gr. pills?

I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

With that combo you can never go wrong with H4831sc

H-1000 also works very well

I use 57 grains of IMR 4350 with a 130 ballistic tip or partition. Knocks em down

Whatever you've got in the burn rate range of 4350 to 4831.
Now with even more aplomb

I played with several powders a few years ago but nothing beat H4831 for accuracy and velocity. Your rifle may tell you different.

H-1000 also works very well H1000 is slow for 130s in my experience. Anything from 4064 to 4831 burn rates works. That gives you a lot of options in this powder limited world were in now. I like to keep my velocities around 3000 fps for cup and core bullets. Now if you can find it, stuff a case with RL26 over a bonded bullet and you’ve got a 3300 fps laser.

It's hard to beat 4350 of any stamp, but my best results accuracy wise have been with IMR4350.

IMR 4350, any regular primer and any 130 bullet of your choice.
The lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part!

If there is such a thing, the .270 standard load has always been 4831.

Easy answer, H4831 if for some odd reason that doesn't work try H/IMR 4350 if that doesn't work sell the rifle.

I wish I could find R26, my 6.5-06 loves that powder as well.

A couple of loads I tried in my 700 BDL. I can't believe that I forgot to note number of grains of H1000 and which primer. Grrr.
270 Remington 700 BDL 131 grain E-tip CCI 200 56.5 Grains, H4831sc 0.75 MOA 270 Remington 700 BDL 130 TTSX Barnes ? Grains H1000 0.75 MOA
The best groups I have had with my 270 so far (two groups averaged):
270 Remington 700 BDL 160 Partition 9 ½, 53.5 grains RE 19, 0.44 MOA
I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare. Now I'm envious of the tortoise and I do my own stunts but rarely intentionally

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.
