Doesn't Winchester claim to use 780 in their factory 270 loading?
Imagine your grave on a windy winter night. You've been dead for 70 years.
It's been 50 since a visitor last paused at your tombstone.....
Now explain why you're in a pissy mood today.

hey guys,... I have a question.. I bought my first .270... a remington 700 ADL, and spent about a week test firing different types of ammo through it to test what it seemed to like. It seems to have a preference for winchester 150 grain power points. It is so accurate with the factory loads, it's almost boring,.... but that's a good thing. At 100 yards, off the bench, it holds 3 shot groups at less than a half inch. Does anybody have any information on replicating the factory load for winchester 150 grain power points? If so, can you help me out? thanks. My accurate/hunting load for my .270 Win. is a 150 gr. Partition and 57 grs. of Rldr-22. This combo gives me about 2930 fps. I would advise that you chrono the factory loads and work handloads up to that velocity. I'd use the Sierra 150 gr. bullet or, maybe, the Hornady. I hope the group you mention is continually repaetable and not a one time fluke. One time groups like that happen all the time. Hope this helps some. Later, Bear

No 780 was developed for the WSMs as it mimics 4831 and takes less space. Sure it would work in a 270 WCF but a 130 TTX backed by a max load of H4350 will kill anything I've met. W780 works real good in my R-1 270 WSM, suprisingly best group to date has been with 130 Speer Grand Slams, never touted as a tack driver. ![[Linked Image]](http://i191.photobucket.com/albums/z231/leadloader/DSCN3070.jpg)

Hodgdon press release:
December 3, 2007
Hodgdon Releases Two New Powders: Hybrid 100V and Supreme 780
Filed under: News, Reloading � Tags: Hodgdon Reloading Gun Powder Accuracy � Editor @ 2 pm
Starting in spring 2008, Hodgdon Powder Co. will start shipping two new powders suitable for target and hunting calibers. Hybrid 100V is designed to combine the even burn qualities of an extruded (stick) powder, with much smoother metering in a powder measure, due to its advanced kernel design. Supreme 780 is the identical ball powder loaded in Winchester�s factory Supreme� ammunition including 243 Win, 270 Win, and 300 Win Magnum.
no mention of the 270 WSM??

Thanks kup, I used to have a memory, but seem to need a little help with the details just lately.

Interesting apart from the fact that if you did that today(shot from a motor boat) you would be breaking the law. Can't remember whether that rule was in place in 1972. In those years we did our hunting from canoes from where it is legal to shoot (provided it doesn't have a motor attached.)
