I've always had good success with partitions. I'm using 150G accubonds in my 270 WSM this fall for mule deer and cow elk. Good luck hunting.

Joe, Good luck with the ladder test. I've ran the most tests with magpro so will be interested in hearing how the other 2 powders work. Long live the 270WSM.

Joec7651: Looking forward to your range report with the 270WSM.

It's not just me then. Well, the best group could be covered up with a dime and measured 0.162. One big ragged hole and 3 other 3 shot groups under 0.70 so it likes this powder and bullet.

Any suggestions on why I'm having trouble attaching pics?

I'm having trouble attaching the pics. I will keep trying

Pics from range

Update: Went to range today to fine tune my initial 12 shot ladder test with Vit N560. I think I have found the one my Tikka likes. Average velocity was 3304 with no pressure signs. This will be by deer load for this fall.

Forgot to attach a pic of the group. Here it is.

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...

Texas Life: If you ever decide to part with the IMR 4831, I will promise it a good home .. Have a great day!

Texas Life: Full disclaimer: most of the IMR 4831 I have is from 2013-2019. I guess it pays to accumulate some powders.

Finally got back to the range today with the 150G Interbonds. I worked on some 3 shot groups based on ladder test with Hunter and IMR 4831. I think I have a winner with this load of IMR 4831. Velocity was 3034 with no pressure signs. It was 50 degrees and a light breeze. I will play with...

Joe, With IMR 4831, I started with 60G and ending around 63. That was around 62,400 PSI. I wanted to stay a fair amount under SAMMI of 65000PSI. I maybe could have pushed it harder but I got the velocities I was looking for and so far, the accuracy looks very promising.

SJB: I sent you a PM but yes, I would love to get some more. Thanks,
