Sorry to ask the question that has probably already been discussed, but I cannot get the search fuction to work. What is your best load for the 270 Win. with 140 g Accubonds?
Thanks
I used 58 gr of H4831sc. For some reason, everytime I tried to push them faster, my groups would spread. Never chronied them.
Seems to me 60 grains of IMR7828SSC was a goodun.
H4831SC is a good to go load. I also found a great node with RL-22 around 58.4gr with 140 AB.
49 grains of H4831sc behind a 140 Accubond works well for me.
I use a book max load (Nosler) of H4831SC with the 140 Accubond. Accuracy was 3/4" @ 100yds. I didn't play with the load futher, as it was my buddy's gun, and I figured that was good to go for him.
My featherweight prefers 58.0 H4831SC under a 140 Accubond. Runs at 2860 fps. Taking it to Wyoming for antelope in about a week. Sighted in a 2 inches high at 100 the Leupold LRD reticle is almost dead on to 500.
Ran H4831 to 59.0gr for 2950fps and superb accuracy.
Max book load of RL-22 gave 3k in my 22" Pac-Nor barrel.
What ever federal loads in their factory ammo! Shoots about 1/2" in my remington 721.
Btw, that is an excellent bullet for that round.
Thanks for the replies. I guess I know which powder to start with.
Have a good day.
i have good luck with book max load of rl19.
my Vanguard in 270 Win realy likes Rl22 also. Most accurate
load tryed so far. Still looking for something better.
I have tried Ramshot Hunter, H4831 and Reloader 22 with 140s, inlcuding the Accubond, and like Hunter the best by far. Not sure of my load without looking at my notes, but it is a book maximum or close to it. Second choice for accuracy is Reloader 22. This is from a sample of 4 or 5 .270s over the last few years.
49 grains of H4831sc behind a 140 Accubond works well for me.
FORTY 9 of 59gr? Sounds about like a 7/08 load.

59
59.5 gr H4831sc, CCI 200 primer, WIN brass, 2967 ave. over chrono
Ned - thanks for clarifying.
Need to load some myself and have ABs + H/sc....
My pleasure 65BR. highcotton's numbers are right on, I get 2930 w/59 w/a 24" barrel. It's a hammer.
I use 54 gr of RL17 for 3150 fps(not a misprint) in my NULA .270 24" barrel. Shoots 1/2" and holds it out to 500 yds.
Hmmm 1/2" and 3150 - that MIGHT would cost me an EXTRA CDS knob seeing how I already got one set up for 2950
You cleaning with Slick 50
Hear higher speeds w/17, some get accuracy, some not so great, but it's working for you.
WW brass or ????
Nosler Brass but got similar results with WW. No Slick 50! Ha. I am not seeing any pressure signs but I feel that it's a little hot to recommend across the board. I backed off to 53.5 for about 3100 but accuracy wasn't as good. Opened up to about an inch. I've got my CDS turret for it and I used a 100 yd zero and I get to about 700 on the dial but I'll have to check. Only shot one deer with it at 325 but it worked well. About 225 lb MS delta buck. CDS is right on out to 600 but I've not shot farther than that.
Never could hold an inch in the field myself
so that'll do in a pinch regardless. Yes, my CDS IIRC gets right at 700 or a tad more at 2950 w/200yd zero IIRC.
I will be using the ABs no doubt for this 270 that is my sons.
Thanks - yeah, always had very good luck w/WW though really liked the Noz brass when I used some in 260, have some for 243 also.

I run 60gr's of RE22 in my Dad's 270, it chrono'd with the same numbers as you guys, around 2990fps on a cold day, and up to 3030fps on a hot day.
It's unfortunate this rifle see's so little use, my Dad rarely ever hunts anymore, he's 66 this month!
