Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters 270 Win / 150 Grain Load Information Wanted...

Oh and their reloading aisle had some of these new bullets - thought I'd try a box with some H4831SC. Kinda spendy though. They better work.

lol, good stuff there Joe.

Aside, I always get a kick when someone uses the well-worn phrase, "with today's great bullets," when talking about a smaller cartridge working well on bigger, big game... as if the Nolser Partition hadn't been invented in 1948.

Interesting Bob. Thanks for the head's up, that's a new one to me. Will say however, 2,850 suits me fine.

56.0 grs of H-4831,CCI 250 mag primer,150 gr Nosler Partition,it's getting 2879 fps from a 22" barrel.

Brad, I don't have one now and have pretty much pared down the safe contents commensurate with my philosophy of not leaving this globe with a pile of stuff my wife must deal with. I'm a "niche but overlap" guy - I see a specific application for each piece I have with some overlap to another above or below the primary.

That said, I am fond of the 270. When younger I was always one to try the next thing, the next drainage, the next cartridge and generally go bigger. I had the 270 in those years and if there is a better all-purpose small to medium big game cartridge I don't know what it'd be. And now as with most of them, it's even better with the designer bullets, better barrels, etc.

That Rem BDL in 270 became a 7mm RM, a 300 Win Mag, a 338, and a 340 B - I finally stopped there with that rifle. Though in various forms that platform did account for serious amounts of ungulate protein over the years.

But in truth, if I were to build one last time, a lightweight, svelte, all-purpose and well-balanced rifle/cartridge combination, the 270 would be in the top three I would consider.

Brad, I haven't read through your entire thread and hope I not being a wet blanket in suggesting plain old Rem, 150 Core-lokts in the factory loads or as a component. They shoot very well out of my ancient M70 and kill stuff dead when applied correctly.

Shot .277 150 & 160 Partitions for many years and they're undoubtably the gold standard for many of us but the Core-Lokts just work with boring efficiency.

Oh boy. Should be a great Christmas! Can't wait to open the box......

Not sure how you could afford those.
