I normally use the 150gr Partition for deer in my 308 Win. I know I don’t need them for deer but there’s no question that they work great.
Just rebarreled with a 26” McGowen barrel, and refinished it to a hot blue gloss finish, and put a PT&G bolt head on it. Headspaced with Forster gauges but...
I use the 300gr XTP Mag in my 450 Bushmaster at 2050ish fps. It seems to be a tougher bullet than the Hornady 300gr HP I use in 45-70. Just my opinion.
That 55 grain load with H4198 is pretty stout even for a starting load. That’s what I started with was H4198. Still have 4-5lbs. I backed it down to 51 grains and went to IMR4198 and 2050 fps. Plenty for deer and my shoulder.
That’s how many I ordered too. I got a couple boxes of 300gr XTP Mag’s for my Ruger MPR 450 Bushmaster as well.
They sure do work on deer just like you said. I load them both to a 2050 fps load and can switch between the two without a thought. Same Nikon scopes on both really does make them...
I always get caught up chasing groups myself. Out of my own vanity I guess. I forget sometimes that even with a 2” group, that bullet is going to impact within 1” of where my crosshairs were when the shot cracked at 100 yards.
Three best powders I’ve had with the two 270’s I have are SB 6.5...
I haven’t tried Staball HD yet. I need to, I have a good bit of it. I enjoy the E-Tips very much. From 55gr in .224, 130gr .277, 140gr .284, to 150gr in .308 give great accuracy and velocity for me. I haven’t had a problem at all with velocity or accuracy. To get the retained weight of a 140gr...
It’s a little faster than H4831 but it’s better suited to the 270’s case capacity than H4831SC in my opinion. I also love the 130gr Hot Cor. Great bullet. RL23 is a great option too if you have any.
Just and fyi. Cabela’s has CCI 200’s and Winchester LRM primers. Have it shipped to store and there’s no hazmat. 10 sleeves of 100 per order of each. Order 10 and they send it as a brick.
What h do is, go outside and pick up a rock. Now listen carefully because this is important. Make sure a good stiff wind is square in your face. Now throw that rock. Subtract 10 from whatever the rock got. Lol
Wow! I’m really impressed with your velocity results. Almost 2600 fps is more than I thought you’d get from a 308 Win shooting 220 grain bullets. That’s a stout load.
An over barrel suppressor would be nice at that length. 4” of barrel goes into the suppressor and the other 4” of suppressor extends barrel length.

I’m guilty of TRYING (most times unsuccessfully) to squeeze the smallest groups possible from rifles. Shoot and enjoy it just how it is. Great shooting rifle Fotis.
I don’t use Magnum but I’m sure many will be bummed if it gets the axe. On the up side the new addition is temp stable with the CFE additive. Well it really only has one competitor, as RL26 is non-existent so that leaves H1000. Haven’t tried the HD I have but have heard good things. I’m sure...
I really like the laminated grip and end caps. Beautiful rifle. I bought a new Vanguard Sporter in 270 Win this past winter and haven’t got it out to shoot it yet. I think I like your stock a little better.
