What's everyone running in their 270 hunting rifles?
I had great luck with IMR 4350, 150 grain Nosler Partition, Federal 210 Match Primer, Nosler brass. Shoots very well out of an old Remington.

Max load of H4831 and 130 TSX, same with H4350 and 130 TSX. Still need to try RE-22 with same bullet. MagPro also done me well before.
JOC was right. The 270 Winchester on a Model 70 is a great combination as is the 30/06 and 375 H&H

Long time fan of something like the Jack OConnor load, a case full of H4831, now using the SC version, under a 130 gr Partition. Last 2 seasons saw a trial with the 130 gr E Tip. It has performed beyond my expectations, with a bonus of minimal bloodshoot venison. Trialed the TSX as well, accurate bullet, but for no objective reason, I do not like Barnes. I trialed RL22, but could not accuracy on par with the 4831.
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.

Re: Nosler brass
I've tried it in the 270 with 130 grain bullets and was not able to get on the top end accuracy node before I got pressure signs and loosening primer pockets.

I have really good luck with 60grs. H4831SC using 130gr Interbonds. As for back up 55gr. of IMR4350 with 130's. I use either 58grs of H4831SC, or 58.4grs RL-22 with 140's. I'm currently working on 150's with the 270 win, i plan on using H4831SC since its has been really consistent and with great Sd #'s.

H4831 works in just about any .270 made. Other powders work too but H4831 is "the" .270 powder. 60gr. H4831/130 gr. bullet my standard and favorite load for years.

Nope, RL22 has been my #1 powder for a few years now. In my rifles it gave me top velocity with tight groups. I've also had pretty good results with Hunter and Magpro.

I just switched from IMR4350 to H4350 for the reason of temp sensitivity. I prefer to use the slowest powder that still gives good velocity. Ideally I like to see the case full to the neck or even slightly compressed. Seems to me this gives more uniformity to the load than a part empty case with the powder sloshing around. H1000 may work too, if you can get enough in the case.

Bear in Fairbanks Mine's similar, but be careful working your way up ... Rem brass, Rem 9 1/2M primers, Nosler 150g Partitions, 58.5g H4831 gives 3030 fps out of the 22" barrel on my Rem 700 BDL been using the load for 30 years. Gives .5" 3 shot groups at 100 yards in my rifle. Start at 54g and work up SLOWLY ...

I've never done better than H4831 and 130 - 140gr bullets in any of my .270s. H4350 behind 110gr TTSXs was showing some promise last time I tried them.

It bears repeating.....H4831, 130 gr (I'll take a ballistic tip for play and an accubond for business) bullet, 3100 fps

With a Hornady 130gr over 60 gr of H4831sc elk fall over real easy.

Bear, Count me in on the RL22. I use the same load with a 150 gr. Speer HC averaging 2925 fps. My 130 gr. BT load is 59.5 gr (? have to double check) averaging 3040 fps. What I really like is 3 shots of each load shoots into a combined sub 2 in. group at 200 yds.
