I'm gonna stick with the 140 ABs but I will start moving the load up and see how it handles a little more pressure. Maybe try it with Grand. I also need to master the trigger. By the way, I also have an old Rem 740 in 244 Rem that I've had for a while and haven't even fired. It is vintage...

Both of my bolt rifles, win 70 & rem 700, in 270 win prefer the 150gr bullets too.

The old 760 exceeded my expectations. The 140 AB and H4350 grouped well at 11/2" three shots at 100 yds. I experienced some frustration zeroing the old VariX Ii 2x-7x Leupold. Played chase the zero for a while and finally got ot on. It shot well enough I'm gonna need to do some serious load...

I forgot the pic of the rifle.

Saw the post about the 7600 Rem in 270 win and was spurred to load some ammo for my 760 I bought in New Mexico a few years ago. I finally got a scope on it but haven't done anything else. I went out on a limb and did something different for me and used a factory crimp on the rounds. I have...

Yep, I have red tip accubonds, and Partitions and accubonds with cannelures, all overruns.

OK, just making sure it wasn't my poor computing skills. I guess they have a broke link or something.

Anyone else having issues opening the Hodgdon Reloading Data Site. I've tried several devices and it won't open. Past few days.

I have a quick load print out for 160 accubond and it shows 67.1 grs max for 62000 psi at 3124 fps from a 26" barrel.

I shot the 140 Sierra in my 7mm rem mag and they usually left a large exit. I switched to the 140 solid base which left a less dramatic exit. Both had DRT effect.

I don't know. ABs are slower than Partitions within the lengths I stated.

Of the powders you listed, I'm partial to IMR 7828 ssc. I can get close to 3000 fps with a 150 partition from a 22" barrel. My loads start at 0.040 off the lands due to the size of a model 70 magazine box. Oal on my loads hover around 3.340 +- 0.005.

I too have never hunted moose. I seem to recall that Jack O'Connor killed his first Moose with a 130 gr Silvertip from a 270 Win.

Going along with what JD posted. The camber on the 700 classic is cut with a bit more freebore so the round can be loaded to a longer length.

I put an old, say 40 yes old, M8 6x on a 270 win, last month. It wouldn't adjust and the point of impact wandered around. Sent it off to Leupold for repair. They're sending my 6x back along with a VX3HD 3.5-10x cds duplex. I guess they couldn't fix the M8.

That has to be one of the worse ads I've seen.

My first load for that Bob was a 117gr Sierra gameking with 48grs of H-4831 @ 2975 fps. Killed my biggest south Texas buck with it. A bunch of coyotes and Javelinas went down too.

It looks like they changed the jacket design a bit making the base thicker with a more abrupt taper on the Ogive.

I always liked the solid base.
