Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Winchester Collectors Winchester 70 Pre 64 Prices

I tried to get out of all things 270 a few years back and sold off most of my bullets and stuff. However, the same shop had some sierra 140g tipped game king or game changer bullets for 40% off so I picked up some boxes of those. I still have some brass and dies so I'll put a scope on it and load up some of these 140g Sierra bullets and see how it shoots this spring. It came with a picitiny rail on it for a base.

My old stand by load for 270s from years ago was a 150g speer hotcor or nos partition over a stiff charge of 7828. Most 270s shot that load well and it ran the 150s over 2900. I've never been a 270 fan, mostly because that's what my stepbrother and his uncle shot and they were both douche bags, but that 7828 and 150 partition load worked well on deer and elk.

I put together a 270 for a friend almost 20 years ago with a new take off Alaska ti fluted 24" barrel I had on a 700 action from an sps in an Alaskan ti stock. He has tons of guns but says that's the only one he's hunted with since I gave it to him. He has me load him 100 rounds of 150 Speer hot cors over 7828 every 5 years or so and says it's killed all his deer and elk with 1 shot. He won't pony up for partitions because he thinks the Speers are perfect. I built a matching rifle for me in 7 mag at the time and I've never even taken mine hunting. I should probably sell mine so it can get some use.

If my 140 Sierras don't shoot I'll try my old 150g 7828 load. That loads always shot in every gun but some guns might do better with a 1/2 to 1g different charge.

Probably going to have to leave it a 270 so it stays original. Otherwise I'd consider a rebore to 9,3x62 if the barrel is thick enough.

I'm pretty excited about the find even though it's nothing like my idea of an ideal hunting rifle. A pre 64 model 70 in 270 just reminds me of reading shooting times as a kid in the 80s.

I have all the stuff to reload for mine but it just loves the factory Barnes 130 ttsx. Why go to all the work when it shoots the factory stuff .5”

I am not thrilled with a 270 either but they sure shoot little groups and critters dead on the spot.
