ShadeTree, Thanks for your reply. I have RE17,19 and 22 but can't find any 16 or 26. Any idea where a person can find some? I talked with a rep from Scheels and he said most of the Alliant powder is going to the military instead of consumers.

It seems to be the consensus that Nosler uses a powder not available to us. Oh well, I can reuse the bullet and case so not a big loss.

Here are 2 pics of the powder inside the Nosler Factory 180G Accubond. I gave it the eye test compared to some of the powders that i had: It was closet of RE 22. H 4831SC was a little larger. Also looked at RE19, IMR4831, Magpro, IMR 4350.

I will try and take a few pics tomorrow.

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...

A couple of you tubers had really good results in a Model 70 with Magpro. I've had really good luck with Magpro in both 140 and 150 G Accubonds so I think I might start there.

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 talked with the Tech at Leupold today. He told me just to use the velocity from MN for my custom dial. Basically, for most hunting ranges he said it won't matter so I ordered my custom dial today. Thanks for the replies.

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...

Range update: I think I've settled on a load for the 270WSM with 150g Accubonds. I kept my seating depth the same and just tried: Nosler, Win and Federal Brass along with WLRM, 9.5M and Fed 210M primers. On 2 different range sessions I got my best 2 groups with Federal nickel cases with Fed...

Hit the jackpot today. Went with a buddy to pick up his gun from gunsmith and they had Winchester Large Rifle primers for $69/brick. I bought 2. To top it off, they had Nosler Accubonds in 30 caliber 180G for $49/box. I thought that was pretty fair in today's high prices.

Idaho53, Thanks for the link on SD and ES. I have fun tinkering with various combinations.

Follow up from range day. I tried Federal nickel cases today with both Fed 210M and Rem 9.5M primers. All the bullets were seated the same and fine tuned powder charge in 0.3 increments from last range day. I guess I was pleasantly surprised but a few questions came up. My best group came in...

str8meat: I have 47 175 partitions, 53 150 g partitions and a box of 160g. Do you have anything in 270 or 30 caliber for a trade? Pineman

Thanks for the helpful replies. On my load development, they were all seated the same length so next time I will use the same brass and just try different primers. I will report back with my results but it won't be for a couple weeks. I appreciate all knowledgeable guys on this forum.

Gerry, I know so people don't like Magpro but my 270WSM really likes it and I guess that's all that matters. Try some in the 6.8 Western, I think you will like it.

Thanks Dr Mike. I was surprised in that my 270WSM was really easy to find to work up a load with very good accuracy with the 150AB. I will try some standard primers when I tweak my loads.

Ok.. Thanks for the replies. In regards to hotter primers: can someone rank the magnum primers from slow to fast, etc? I have all the major brands of primers so I could experiment but i don't know where the 9 1/2 M compares to the WLRM and 215M. Once again TIA.

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...

Joec: Funny you mention 4831. I'm using H4831SC. I know lot's of people say to use RL17, 19,22 and I have a pretty good load with RL17 but my Browning really likes H4831SC.
