I have been trying to work up a load for my Remington 700 270 win XCR, 24 inch barrel 1-10 twist, with 150 grain accubonds. I have been working with H4831sc between 54 and 56.5 grains.. I haven't gotten much better than 1 1/2 inch groups. The gun usually groups about 3/4 inch with 130 grain...
I look every day sometimes three times a day. Where are the bullets? Is nosler selling to federal and winchester instead of the reloader, where are the bullets? I see advertisements for fancy new rifles, what do I shoot. I don't want to hear, have you checked Shooters Pro Shop, THEY DON'T HAVE...
200 grain Accubond with I believe 77g of H1000 is 3/4 MOA for me. it is a bit hard on deer but dynamite on elk. I get about 2850 fps. with a 24 inch barrel.
I am shooting 165g Accubonds with cci br large rifle primer and 44g of rl15 getting 3/4 moa. I have a psa pa-10 rebarreled with a 20 inch ballistic advantage barrel. My old 18 inch barrel was printing 3 to 4 inch groups. Get an adjustable gas block and choke it down, if you start pushing...
I have been busy for a while, but thanks for all the input. The load was worked up with 97g of retumbo yielding nearly 3370fps and 1/2 moa out of a custom Montana gun. The elk never knew the data was from an old manual.
Mike that may be but, 4 grains seems to be a large amount. The difference between 3/4 moa and 2 moa in real terms of shooting. I checked other loads with retumbo and nothing changed. It would reason that it would change for all if your hypothesis were true. it may just be a error earlier or now.
In Nosler reloading manual 6 in states that the max load for retumbo in a 300 rum is 99 grains for a 180 grain accubond, with 97 being the most accurate. In the latest version online from their website, it lists 95 grains as being max for 180 grain accubonds, with 93 grains being the most...
I could never get the 250 AB to shoot but the Berger 250 elite hunter shoots 1 hole with 91g of rl25 and 250g partition shoots 1/2 moa with 98.5g of retumbo and this is my go to load. big medicine for elk moose and bears.
Thanks again for the input, I am still tinkering with it. I tried 43, 44, grains of rl15 and get decent groups. I need to order some 165 BT's and give them a try. 165 grain accubonds were like a shotgun blast. 165 grain Hornady sst''s shoot about 1.2 moa and 42.8 grains with a 180 grain...

Thanks for the reply’s I’ll tinker with it a bit. Any input on the 308 and RL15 is welcome. I may just be asking more than this setup can deliver. It is however fun to bang away with a 308 but a touch spendy

I am working up a load for 308 win . I am out of Varget and am using RL15 which looks very similar in performance. The question is, Noslers reloading manual specifies 44g of RL15 as a max load for 165g bullets. I am shooting well with that load, However I am shooting it out of an 18 inch, barrel...
Love the 270, 59g of 4831sc and a 130g Nosler BT or Partition is tough to beat. I get right around 3000 fps with this load. It good on anything except the big bears.

I shoot the 130 AB, I use 45g of imr 4350. I don't get blazing speed but I get 2870 fps. I believe this a max load from the nosler manual. I am getting 1/2 moa and my daughter has taken 2 deer with it. She shot one at a bad angle not understanding that she was supposed to be trying to angle it...
