Kinda likin 60.0grs H-4831 with 130gr Nosler BallisticTips.. This Federal 130gr Soft Point factory load isn't too shabby either.. All these were shot at 200 yards.

Why do they call it common sense, when it is so uncommon?

Shag, you think your bummed. My 7mm Remington Mag only did 2887FPS with 160 gr Accubonds. But the good news is the 270 Winchester Vanguard went 3077FPS for 5 shot average with 140gr. Gamekings and 59.2gr. of RL22. 60gr. of RL22 went 3154FPS with 130gr. Interbonds. The 140gr. Gamekings were the most accurate. W760 also worked well with the 130gr. Interbonds.

WW brass 150 NP 57gns RL-22 Fed 215 Vel 2925 Have ran this load in 2 old 270's, A 1957 M-70, and a 1965 Browning safari medallion, excellent accuracy, about the perfect all purpose load for game in my area. I have also noticed more consistent ignition w/mag. primers as well. Gunner Well here Claybreaker, I'll bring this load back current for the Fall hunters that may be working up loads with the great 270 WCF. Gunner

I like 56-57 gr of H-4831sc with 150s in the .270. I typically get 2800-2850 fps in 22" barrel and 2900-2950 fps with 24" barrel. There are several powders (RL22, Magpro - to name a couple) that will get 50-100 fps more velocity, but 4831 is still tough to beat. Hunter is very good with 130s. I've been running 56-57gr for around 3100 fps in 22" barrel. Been meaning to try 7828 and Magnum in the .270, but not got around to it yet.

10-4 Lou, I have an old pre-64 M-70 in 270 WCF in a very pretty stick of English walnut and I agree, 2900 fps is plenty, I dont want to lean on the steel or wood to much on this old girl. Plus, a 150 Partition leaving at 2900 fps flat knocks the crap outta WT deer. Gunner

Powders that have "worked" for me in the 270 Winchester have included 4064,4320,H4350,IMR4350,IMR4831,H4831(past and present iterations)7828,MagPro,RL22,and RL25.Might have used some Norma 205 and MRP in years past but it was long ago....anyway you can likely load a 270 Win with lumps of coal and it'll work.Not a very fussy cartridge IME. Sometimes you just don't want to fiddle with stuff and a slam dunk load that you know is the way to go.....so,I loaded up 50 rounds the other day with the old standard of 61-H4831-130 Partitions,and got zeroed for hunting which took a grand total of 7 rounds so that's that.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Have I put my 270 load on here? My load is 130gr. GMX with 55gr. of Reloader 17, win brass and CCI LRM primers, gets me about 3160fps; I have been using for about 2 years now, its taken 4 game these last two years, and I haven't lost a single one, so its definitely a good one, keep in mind this is a tiny bit over the recommended max, so proper workup is required.

why, 60 g H4831sc + 130 g cup/core, of course! my Ruger 77 MKII likes it as much as any other ammo, and my 1st Gen Sendero loves it.
It's actually been more than needed on any of the deer I've shot, including a 230 lber that was hit quartering-on at about 120 yds.

55 gr IMR4350 and the Hornaday 130 shoots tiny little groups and is deadly on deer size game.
I need to work up a dedicated elk load.... thinking RL22 and the Nosler 150 PT.

GMX is hard to beat, especially out of a 40 year old rifle...

Rem brass, Federal 215 primers, 150g Nosler Partition, 58.5g H4831SC for 3020 fps out a 22" barrel (Rem 700 BDL in 270 with a 22" barrel). Shoots .5 MOA in my rifle. Work up to the load slowly starting at 55g of H4831sc, stop at any pressure signs. I neck size only so my cases are fireformed to a bit more capacity than full length resized cases.

160g Partition, 58.5g H4831sc, Win brass, CCI Std LR primer - 2820 fps
130g Partition, 56.5g H4350 - 3100 fps
150 SST, 59.0g H4831 - 2950 fps
130g Interlock, 56.0g H4350 - 3070
All these will put 5 rounds into around 1 moa, and all the loads combined except the 130 NPT print within a 1.5 inch vertical group at 100y. The 130 NPT prints around 2 inches lower.
The Interlock load is compatible with 130g Hot Cors as well.

The 30-06 had military support, the .270 had nothing but excellent field results. ....... and JOC. I'm trying some H4831SC in mine shortly.
