Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles Good .270 Winchester Loads

I,m with the RL22 group, my best load is 59gr of RL22 with
140gr bullet, using a Gameking or Accubond bullet, in a
Vanguard S2 270 Winchester. That powder works with my 257 Roberts
and 7MM remington mag, as long as you use heavier bullets.

Shaq: Today I'd be reaching for some 7828 or RL25 for that job.Have not tried either with the 150, but have with 130's and they both work real well.

If you can get them to shoot. I've ran a box or two over my 270's and a bunch of 154's over my 280 and they can be tricky. As much as I like Hornady, I'd personally look at the 140 AB. Much easier to get to shoot well. YMMV.

I shoot 150 Interlocks with 55.5 grain H4831sc out of my CZ 550. It shoots a lot of things well but this load GREAT!

I am running 58 grains of H4831sc under 140 Accubonds, BTs, and Interlocks. 57.5 grains under a 150 Nosler Partition. All of them shoot to an inch with my featherweight but those Interlocks are cutting a ragged hole.... I am trying to convince myself they would be fine for elk but I haven't tried it. So many good bullet choices available it's hard to put the Hornadys first in line.

I have killed a number of deer with Hornady 130/150 grain interlocks years ago. All were one shot kills. I killed a buck his year with 150 grain BT. They are extremely accurate from my Remington.

Welcome to the fire Wingnut.

I use 62 gr. IMR 7828SSC behind the 130 Sierras and 130 Hornadys for a muzzle velocity of around 3200 fps out of a 24" barrel. Accuracy is great and also 200 fps faster than the old standard of 60 gr. H4831. 61 gr. 7828SSC with the 140 Hornady works well too for a veloctiy of about 3100 fps. With the 150 Hornady, I load 59.5 gr. of 7828SSC for about 3000 fps. Approach these loads with caution of course, but I haven't had any problems in 3 different .270 bolt actions. I use WLR primers and R-P cases.

For you guys using Magpro and Hunter, what are your loads with the 140g AB?

Thanks

Bump for the 270, great round.

The interbonds that I have tried love to be touching the lands to a 0.003 jam.

What?? No one is using Magpro or Hunter with 140G AB????

Done that and a little jump...no luck. That was in some M700's. I'll try again with an M70.

I have them running right at 1" at 100yds with Hunter going 2850.. But I'm gonna improve on that..

i wanna punch paper at distance with mine, whats a hot load for a 140 solid copper?

58gr of H4831SC under a 140 gr HNDY is my rifle's favorite too. I wouldn't tackle an elk with one, though. They've killed deer and antelope fine, but I think these are too soft for elk.

59.5 gr RL22,WW brass and WLR primer with 140 Nosler Accubond, 2990 fps and tiny groups in a SS 700.

Went to the range today. Shot 59.2gr of RL22 for 3077,out
of my weatherby Vanguard S2. With 140gr Game Kings. Most accurate load to day was 59gr of RL22 with 140gr Accubonds.
130gr interbond went 3154 with 60gr of Rl22. 130gr Sierra
went 3110 with 54gr of W760.

59 grains H4831sc(max)
140 AB or 135 SMK
2950 or so fps(22" ADL)
freaky accurate

.270 demands cheep bullets!

59 grains of h4831sc
