The string that Higbean refers to is a great discussion. There seems to a tendency to load the 270 Win and 300 Win Mag a little on the timid side.
An observation, not a criticism. A 130 grain bullet leaving the muzzle at 2800fps is not all that much less effective, for most hunting situations, than one leaving at 3100fps.
Variance in trajectory arguments don't hold much water as there are to many guys happily using 150 and 160 grain bullets in their 270's. With great effectiveness.
Both rounds were designed to run at the high end of the pressure spectrum, so most factory rifles in these two calibers are built to handle them as designed.
Jack O'Connor had it right. How many years ago?

I use 54 gr of IMR 4350 with a 130 gr. Rem. core-loc. It works for bear and deer very well.I have 5 pounds of IMR 4350 and won't ever buy any more. It sticks too much.

I use pretty standard stuff in the 270,mostly H4831 and R22.
But a few years back I messed with RL25 and the 130 gr Barnes XLC in a M70 FW. The max listed load of 65 gr gave 3200 fps in a 22" barrel.
Laely I have seen that 62 gr 7828 with 130 NPT gives a shade over 3100 from another 22 inch barrel.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Bob.
I think about the only powder I don't have a pound of is RL25. May have to cure that problem today after looking at your results I have pretty much subscribed to dipping a case in H4831 and just leaving enough room for the bullet (anybodies 130gr ) for 35 years.
Just Ultra Bore coated a couple of Douglas barrels. Hope to get out to shoot today after church if it quites raining.

Dave I play here and there with a lot of stuff but if I need to know if a 270 shoots, I reach for H4831 or R22.

Mostly 130 Hornady or 150 Partition over H4831SC or RL-15 for the last 35+ years. Got quite a few 140AB but haven't tried that one on anything but paper yet. Just happened to look over the thread and saw this, jeez, gettin old I guess. Supposed to be H4831SC and RL-22

RL 22 and 130 gr. Horn. GMX. shoots tiny little groups at about 3100 fps, with a BC of .460 shoots pretty flat.

I shoot H4831SC and 140gr Hornady BTSP of SST. Chrono'd 2960 and both shoot crazy good. Great ballistics when you wanna reach out but perform well up close. Use this for our big deer here in Ssak with zero complaints.
I think it be the best all round bullet weight for this cartridge.
Cheers

H4831,
Pick a bullet of 130 to 150 grain.
Work up to max.
Go kill stuff.

This ain't gonna work is it?  Ran some searches on here and didn't come up with anything for .270 winchester reloading, and was a little surprised it wasn't a sticky with the 30/06 and .308. Anyway, I've got two loads that I like in the .270, both using a Hornady 130 g. spirepoint and Remington brass (both geared toward whitetail hunting). First, my full power load is 59.0 g. of H4831. Second, my squib load is 42.0 g. of H4895. Have killed whitetail deer with both. Last was a bang/flop on an 8 pt with the squib load. I'm callin it a squib load cause it seems to have about half the kick and muzzle blast of the full-power load. Dug up an old 3 shot 100 yd target using the squib load: ![[Linked Image]](http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i258/n8dawg6/sendero6.jpg) rifle is an old school remington sendero topped w/ a leupold VX-I. So what's everybody else loading in the .270? ive got some H4350 laying around here that I keep meaning to try, just haven't ever done it. Honestly haven't shot anything out of that Sendero that wouldn't group. Look under the gay rifle forum listings....
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

Lately I have seen that 62 gr 7828 with 130 NPT gives a shade over 3100 from another 22 inch barrel.
To follow up on Bob's post on 12-12-2010 I switched to IMR 7828 right after it became available. I've had NO reason/need to change. 3100 with 130s is very achievable. From a different perspective. I've re read this OLD thread from 2010 and NO ONE mentioned this load. 49 grs IMR 4064 - 130 gr bullets--J OC. Vel around 2900 fps. It's very accurate and has moderate recoil. Someone might find it useful for women or 'yutes'. I killed deer with it before discovering Surplus 4831. Yeah, some years back. Jerry

62gr 7828 and either Speer Grand Slam or Nosler Partition for hunting...although the SSTs will group a touch better... ![[Linked Image]](http://i1116.photobucket.com/albums/k579/CowboyTimmy/DSC08999_zpsd08ce794.jpg)

Anybody worked up data with the Nosler 90 grain Bonded Bullet?
I've queried Nosler but haven't heard back yet and its no in their online loads.
Like to run them in mid-2000s for a mild close-range deer load and fast as possible to nuke our out of control coyote packs.

Had a hard time trying to find a sub MOA load for a new to me 270. Almost gave up on the rife in lew of my 6.5x55 and a 280. I was using the data from Hornady for the 130 SST and H414. just couldn't get a tight enough group. The groups all had one thing in common, two rounds would touch with one off forming the three shot triangle. I remember a post where it was recommended to adjust the COAL. After referring to my Nosler manual (still shooting the SST's), I went with a 3.320 COAL. Finally a five shot group that can be covered by quarter. Note: When I ran out of SST's I moved to Nosler BT's most cause of cost) So...
50grs of H414
COAL = 3.320
Nosler BT or Hornady SST's
Federal brass
Remember, not everyone has a happy ending, so be happy when you can

I have a Montana ASR in 270W. It likes a 140gn SST with 58.5gn H4831sc. Puts 3 in about 3/4inch at 100 with a cold clean barrel.
If it's not walnut and blued steel it's not mine.

My Montana ASR like 58.5grains of 4831sc and a 140gn Hornady SST. Consistently 3/4 inch at 100. Nice and flat too. Can be a little hard on smaller deer though.
If it's not walnut and blued steel it's not mine.
