270WSM

270 WSM load data

Looking for help finding the exact or a similar load to an old factory load I used to shoot. if anyone also has a better load to shoot with that bullet that would be excellent as well.

Federal Premium 270WSM w/ 150gr Nosler Partition.

Retumbo with 150gr berger vld has the best velocity and accuracy on my current 270wsm barrel .
My last barrel the load was with Reloder 26.
Unfortunately Im not sure many people have these two powders at their disposal.

H4831SC, RL22, RL26, etc will all get you to 3100. One of my favorites.

Sorry, I haven't loaded for the 150 gr PT, as I went with the 140 gr bullets for compromise in velocity and energy in the 270.
Re-19, 22 and 26 are top choices for the 140 gr AccuBond and Trophy Bonded Tip, and I've read that MagPro is a good powder for the 136 gr Terminal Ascent bullet which I am still waiting to find and try in my WSM.

Jb,
I've had really good luck with my Browning 270WSM with Magpro and Fed 210M primers and 150G Accubonds. Just over 3000 fps and 0.3 to 0.4 groups at 1230 ft elevation. Hope this helps.

I had a .270 WSM on a Remington 700 SPS back in the day. Loved the cartridge but that rifle was a lemon. Feeding issues, extraction and ejection issues, bedding issues. Ugh.

Anyways, I never could get the 3000 fps from factory or handloads and 150 grain bullets so just shot 130’s at 3200-3250 fps out of it. They shot well but never did take any big game with it before I sold the gun.

I had the same rifle and the same issues, but did like the cartridge.

I had a 270WSM in a Sako 75 Finnlight.
My load was RL22 with 150 PT at just under 3000 fps. Good brasslife and less the moa. Lots of Elk and Whitetail with that load.

Accurate Magpro and Ramshot Magnum will get 3100 fps with 150 partitions in 270 WSM with 24” barrel. Ramshot has load data and it has been spot on for me in 2 different 270 WSMs. Winchester Staball HD and Ramshot Grand should as well though not tried them yet

Im new to reloading and looking for some help creating a load for my 270 wsm weatherby vanguard
I have some 150 gr Nosler ballistic tips that i would like to try, the only primers i could find were the Ginex large rifle primers and I have winchester/hornady brass. Looking at powders that are readily available and temp stable that i could possibly use in my 6mm rem and 3006. On hand i have varget and H4350.
not sure if i should post here or where. Any help appreciated.

The H4350 should work okay with the 150’s. Typically in the 270 WSM I used slower powders from H4831 all the way to Retumbo.

Nosler shows data for IMR4350 so I’d feel pretty comfortable starting there and working up with your rifle.

Don't be afraid to use Sandard large rifle primers in WSM case.
I use them on every WSM barrel I've ever owned.

I could use some help. Only 20 out of like 110 brass i resized ended up being able to chamber in my rifle. I set the die lower and lower and lower and it did not change. What am I doing wrong? is it the die? Lee precision die and single stage press with Hornady unique case lube. I made sure not to use too much or too little. Pretty discouraged. I measured the brass that would chamber and there is no difference in overall length averages.

Sounds like your die is to low. Lower your press handle like your sizing. Screw your die down till it touches the shell holder raise your handle and screw the die down a 1/4 turn and lock it down.

I did this to start. I read it may need to be lower so i turned it 1/4 turn and each time still cases wouldnt chamber.

I should state, I sized all brass with the die screwed into place touching the shell holder then 1/4 turn more. After i was done i loaded all the cases one by one into my rifle to check fitment and realized the majority did not allow the bolt handle to close.

 

[jimbires]

is the die touching the shellholder , at the top of the stroke , with a piece of brass being sized ? if the die gaps away from the shellholder any at all , you're not sizing to the dies full ability . what will cause this is , lack of lube .

if the die is staying in contact with the shellholder , I'm going to say it's a die problem .

 

[sako2]

When you where resizing did you have the handle camming over or did you stop when the die hit the shell holder. Set your die back up and resize a couple pieces that don't fit. Make sure you cam over and let the brass sit in the die a few seconds.

Was this brass fired in your rifle?
