Love my 270 WSM. Worked up a good load with 150g Hornady InterBonds for cow elk and thought I should try for a good 140G thin skinned load. Used Vit N560 and did a 12 shot ladder test and the whole group size was 1.326 with an average velocity of 3215fps. Next step is a few 3 shot groups to...

Went to the range today and did 2 ladder test with a combination of GRT and Quickload for my Tikka 270 WSM and Hornady 150 G InterBonds. Very happy with the initial results and velocities. On the Hunter, shots 8,9,10 were really close with those 3 average velocity of 3036. Next up with IMR...

I just purchased a very nice used Tikka T3 in 300 WSM to go along with my Browning XBolt in 300WSM. My question is this: My Browning XBolt likes a jump of .1287 with Federal 175G TA's. What would your starting jump be for the Tikka? I was thinking .005 but anyone with a Tikka T3 in 300WSM...

I have a question and would like some comments on: What are the main differences between Fed 215 and Fed 215Match and Fed 210 and Fed 210 Match primers? Do the match primers burn hotter or just made to a tighter tolerance? I guess I would ask the same for CCI 200 vs BR200. The reason I'm...

So I did a couple of ladder tests for my 270 WSM with the Federal TA 136g. I worked up the same load with Remington Brass and virgin ADG brass. Went to the range today and shot the 2 groups. The Remington brass grouped 1.983 with and ES of 11 and SD of 4. The virgin ADG brass load grouped...

I talked to Hornady and they are discontinuing the 270 Interbond in 150Grain. I ordered a few boxes. From what I've researched, they are very similiar to the Accubond. This winter I would like to try some different powders but would like some quickloads on: Magpro, N170 and H4831SC. It will...

I'm wondering if anyone has the same results as I have using nickel plated brass vs bronze. In both my 270 WSM's rifles, using all the same components except the case type, I get better results using nickel plated vs non nickel plated. Federal and Browning cases are the only nickel plated...

I just thought I would pass them on to anyone looking for bullets. My local Scheels have 30 caliber 180g Accubonds on sale for $39.00. That's the cheapest I've seen in awhile. You might be able to order online also, not sure. Hope this helps someone.

I think I found my Elk load for this fall. H4350 with Norma Brass, Remington 9.5M primers and Federal TA 175 bullets out of my XBolt. Average speed was 3087fps. Pretty happy with it.

Question for everyone: I bought some Federal Terminal Ascents Factory ammo in 30.06 with 175G . I pulled the 175G bullets and used them for my 300WSM for load development. My question is: can I assume since it was Federal Factory ammo that the 30.06 cases that I pulled the bullets from were...

Hi and Merry Christmas to everyone!! Over the Christmas break I'm going to do a ladder test on a new powder, load combination on my 300WSM. My question is: Does it make a difference if i use brand new brass or should I use some of my fired brass for the ladder test? Curious on opinions to...

Question for everyone: Federal nickel brass and Fed 210M primers. Found a great load for 270WSM with Federal nickel brass and Fed 210M primers. Here is the problem/question: what would case the primers to just fall out. It has happened about 4 times out of 50 handloads. They seem to seat...

My Browning shoots the Factory Nosler Trophy Grade 180G Accubond in 300WSM very good. I would like to try and duplicate what they are doing at the factory. I pulled one today, it was very compressed, and weighed in and it was 62.4grains. My question is: anybody venture to guess what powder...

I searched but couldn't find any data. Could someone run a quickload for 165 ABLR in 270 WSM with Magpro and H4831SC? Just got some in and wanted to see if my ABolt will stabilize them. I'm open to other powders also-I finally have a pretty good selection. TIA.

I want to have my Leupold Custom Dial Done and the Tech at Leupold advised me to send me the information where I will be doing most of my hunting (Montana) instead of where I did my testing (Minnesota). I'm having a brain fart trying to figure this out. If my 270WSM 150g Accubond is going...

Ok. So I have a great load for my 270WSM with 140g Accubonds and Magpro. I thought I would try and see what I could do with 150G Accubonds and Magpro. I went to the range today and was very happy with my initial loadings but not the velocities I was achieving. I need to fine tune but I was...

I've found a couple of excellent loads for my 300WSM but have a question for you guys: Most of the reloading manuals, etc use magnum rifle primers with the 300WSM. I do have a very good load worked up with WLRM primers but also have any excellent load with Fed 210 primers. The velocity...

I just scored on some Federal Terminal Ascents in 136G for me 270WSM and 175G for my 300WSM and would like some info on some loads: For the 136G: Magpro, RL17, RL19,RL22 and H4831sc and Superformance. For the 175G: RL17,RL19 H4831sc, H4350, IMR4831 and Superformance. I've heard good things about...

Getting my gun back soon from the gunsmith and want to work up some loads with 150G Partitions and Accubonds. I've got some for 130 and 140 g but haven't tried 150G yet. I have a pretty good assortment of powders and primers so any recommendations would be appreciated.

Finally got enough components to start my reloading for 300WSM and 270WSM. I have a couple of questions for people much more knowledgeable than me. In the past I never paid much attention to which powders are more temperature sensitive than others when I reloaded for my 270 win and 30-06. I...
