Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles .270 win 130 accubond and IMR 4350 anybody used this?

54-55 always shoots real well in my 270 and the ones I have loaded for. I could squeeze a little more velocity out of the classic h4831 load but couldn't get the accuracy.

I heard that 55 grains of imr 4350 was winchester's load in there factory ammo. It almost seems like Mule Deer had it in one of his articles. Could be remembering that wrong though.

I think is what I will do is start with 4350 since I will be loading a 270 wsm as well and that is the powder I will be using. If I dont like what I find, then I can always switch to 4831.

Looks like around 55 grns is a pretty good standard.

I've only loaded 140 Accubond in my 270 winchester. 22" bbl yeilds (2750fps, 52grIMR430, 0.25" three shot group at 100yds.) & (2910fps, 54.3gr IMR4350, 0.63" three shot group at 100yds.) 3.34" OAL, Remington case, Rem 9 1/2 primer.

+1 on 55 grs. of IMR 4350.

I'm hoping to get some powder this week so if the weather breaks and is good in a couple weeks, I can finally get out and get working on things.

Its been tough finding primes though.

55 gr IMR 4350 and 130 BT or AB. 3100 fps (more or less)
