Like everybody I shoot H4831 or RL 22 and I like it. Never have chronographed the loads I shoot, I might find out they are only 2600 fps instead of 2900 like everybody else gets and get bummed out. It kills stuff quick and I am happy.

I'm going to try some 7828 SSC in my 270 this winter.
Like to work with 140-150 grain bullets.

150 CTBS 56.4 IMR7828ssc. 2904 160 Ptn. 56 RL22. 2808 130 E-Tip. 60. H4831sce. 3040
I have owned and shot many 270's and have never been able to get 2900 out of a 150 in a 22" barrel with H4831
The Federal Classic blue box ammo is always as accurate as my best handloads in a lite hunting rifle

Barnes 130gr TTSX pushed by 54.5gr of H4350 proved to be a great round for me at an average of 3051fps.

My old Sako shoots 130 gr bullets 3100fps with H4831 or H483SC and is extremely accurate (1/2" to 3/4" groups @100 yds). I'm through looking.

For those willing to experiment a bit,try RL25.Check it out in the Barnes Manual with data for the old 130 XLC bullet....max was 65 gr IIRC.
Back off for standard bullets and work up using Fed 215's and find pressure,establish working loads.Doing this in a M70 Classic FW,the 130 XLC gave 3200fps from a 22" barrel with the Barnes max charge of RL25.
Load was heavily compressed in WW brass, but would be less so with standard bullets(lighter charges) and/or heavier bullets.
I wonder what it will do with heavier 270 bullets(?)but have not had the chance to try it out.
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Bob, RL22 and 130 SST have been very good to me for many years. I am awaiting delivery of some 150 Berger VLD hunting bullets. I have a little Axis doe cropping operation I need to attend to. I have shot a couple of deer with the 140 Berger .284. I want to try the .277 to try and determine what all the fuss is about.

One powder that has not been mentioned is Superformance. I got my Elk with Superformance and 140gr Accubonds. Start at 55gr if you are using Winchester or Remington cases. Use one grain less if you use Federal cases. I had best results with WRL primers, 215 magnum primers also worked. The Superformance and RL22 were equal in the accuracy department. IMR7828SC was the next most accurate powder and gave similar velocity. If I was shooting 130gr bullets then I,d use H4832SC like everone else. I haven,t found a accurate 150gr load in my gun yet. I,ll work on it this year.
