What are you guys recommending for a 130 Gr. bullet in the 270 WSM? I already have H-1000, IMR4831, IMR 4007SSC.

I've done well with IMR 4350 and H4350 but so far my favorite is RE17. A little more speed than the other two with not bad accuracy. This project is a work in progress through so I'd like to hear other responses.

Idon't know what powder Winchester is using in their new PowerMax 130gr loading, but I got 3338-3316 for 6 shots in a 26" Schnieder barrel. One group .500 next 1.25, not bad for factory fodder. Have been trying Magpro and it looks promising.

Try the 4831. I use H4831sc with the 130's in mine. I'm willing to bet the IMR version will do you just fine.

I know they aren't on your list, but RE 17 and Magpro have both given me top velocity. RE19 has given me the best accuracy, but speed is 80-100 fps behind RE 17.

I tried a bunch. IMR4350 is great but is a little slow in my gun (3225 ish). RL17 shows alot of promise but I have not shot it over the chronograph yet. Both powders with 130 grain bullet will shoot three shots .5.

What about IMR 7828? I found some old load data showing top velocity and really low pressure.

RL 17, RL19 and IMR 4831 are good second choices.

I only use one powder in my 270 WSM and it is MagPro Based on results I've seen in my buddies 270WSM, I'd have to 5th the MAGPRO. Top velocity and great accuracy. He swears by it.
