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.

I am going to work with some 150gr Interbonds. With a BC of .525 I'd love to get it to 2900.. Why? Why not? 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.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

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.

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.

So many good bullet choices available it's hard to put the Hornadys first in line. 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.
