My son taken a couple bucks so far with 170 btip in 1-8 270 WSM loaded to 2850. Could go faster but super accurate and like the OP showed great performance. Good expansion/damage with good sized exits Lou

I am with Gerry 6.8 Western ammo/brass 277 170 Accubond A 165-175 277 btip long range if a new line in the works. Whatever weight gives highest BC in 1-8 twist

The 165 ablr factory ammo shot great out of my 6.8W however my handloads meh. I noticed what looked like a dimple on the ogive. After some search found that you can buy a seating stem for the ablr and below on Nosler FAQ. I bought one of the 165 ablr seating stems and will eventually see if...

I haven’t had any issues with recent 6.8W and 270 wsm brass. However on 6.8w FB page have seen some complaining. Any case, Have seen no new Win brass except 6.8W in a while so they can probably sell everything they make in factory ammo and only make 6.8W since it is their recent intro Lou

In my kimber classic select rl16 got 3200 fps with 130 partitions. It is spot on the published Alliant load data. Modern powders make the old girl sing Lou

I have had a couple of pounds of imr 7828 forever. Never tried it until this past weekend (bought it for 300 wby I sold before loading) with 150 gr ablr in old 270 win. 3 shots well under moa at 2900 fps out of 22” barrel (using Nosler load data). .591 BC with this bullet. Who needs a...

Accurate Magpro and Ramshot Magnum will get 3100 fps with 150 partitions in 270 WSM with 24” barrel. Ramshot has load data and it has been spot on for me in 2 different 270 WSMs. Winchester Staball HD and Ramshot Grand should as well though not tried them yet Lou

Looks like ADG is starting to work 6.8W / 270 wsm brass. I saw in shot show podcast that Nosler is looking at 6.8 Western and 300 prc next. Hope that pans out too! I posted this on FB group: Hey folks, this dealer is looking to start taking orders for initial runs ADG Cartridge Brass. I...

I think the main issue is the manufacturers could probably just make nothing but 9mm and 223 and use all their resources year round and sell everything they can make. Tacticool rounds like 308 have crossover appeal with hunting so next on list. Purely hunting rounds are getting pushed to...

Hornady did say they were discontinuing interbonds. In a few of their podcasts they have said they are expensive to manufacture and hard to get to shoot accurately. Focusing on the softer high BC bullets apparently so don’t expect anything new. CX is their tough bullet Lou

277 170 accubond! That 277 170 btip works great by the way. Super accurate in my 8 twist 270 wsm and son took a nice buck with it this year. Performed great! Lou

I had a Win 70 stainless classic 7 wsm that had bedded in a mcmillan stock rebarrled to 6.8W with 24” hs precision 1-8 barrel. Super accurate and well balanced rifle so I did not want to chop it to run a suppressor and ended up buying a xbolt SR which is also very accurate;). Run a trash...

Sweet rig! I really like the 6.8W! Very mild recoil for the down range ballistics. Lou

Have 2 6.8 now. Excellent round. Been hammering pigs with them on my place in TX. Mild recoil, very accurate, and hard hitting. Earth shattering … no but an excellent design from factory. Of the new rounds I like the 6.5 cm and 6.8W the best. Both are very pleasant to shoot for the down...

I have only tried the hammer hunters and used barnes ttsx load data and got similar velocities. Not tried the AH so no comment there Lou

Pretty simple. The 270 drives its most popular weight bullet (130) to magnum velocities without magnum recoil or need to handload or use special high bc bullets to get great ballistics or performance down range. It is a pretty good recipe for most hunting. New bullets have only made it better...

Heck ya! That’ll do. Crazy how good the medium bores will shoot Lou

I would try a different powder. H4831 is normally go to with 150s but maybe something else will work better. Lot of options these days for powders but who knows what is available Lou

1-10 is fine for this bullet. Of course your rifle may not be 1-10 but that is standard 270. ABLR seem to be pretty finicky in general. Try seating deeper - .1 or .15 off even if close is not working. In general I have had few instances where a historically accurate rifle really hates the...

I will also point out that if your buddy’s “real world” .308 velocities are faster than manual load velociities he is at higher pressure. Velocity is not free, even if no pressure signs…
