.270 Reloading ?

[MUP]

I have a friend who is wanting to be able to reload for his .270...so what powder is recommended, or have any of you used, that works well for the .270?

IMR 4831 is what I use with 140 gr. AccuBonds. Nosler's load data is on their web site http://www.nosler.com/270-winchester

I use H-4831sc, but I have had success with RL-22 and IMR-4350 also.

The upper end of IMR4350 and a 130gr Nosler BT produces great groups. Check Nosler's recommended loads on their site.

this is all i use in a 270.

IMR 4350, and Ballistic Silvertips, 150 grain, produces nearly 1/2" groups out of my Model 70.

But that's my gun.
He definitely needs to try different powder/bullet combos and find what works best in his particular rifle.

Also, my trigger is adjustable, and I have mine set very light, at 2 1/2lbs, again, that's what I like.
The trigger pull is a huge factor.

RL-22 is tops for speed.

RL17 is the cats meow! I've tried the rest and have found this powder to be the most consistent and excellent fps at 3200+ fps for a 130 gr SGK and Interbond.

I tried Johnson's baby powder, but I had ignition problems, I think its temp sensitive. So I went to imr 4350

Ok, thanks for the advice guys, just looking to help my buddy get started and wanted to hear your experience on it. Thanks a bunch!

Been using this combo for years. 130 gr Sierra Game King or Hornady SST also work great with that powder.
