I'll second that. My advice is go with the 130gr E-Tip, use Nosler's data for IMR7828 but use the ssc variant you bought, seat them short, and enjoy the ride!

I have thought about the 130 gr E Tip it certainly is an excellent bullet. I'm sure they will be tried at some point...... It seems IMR 7828 comes up a lot as a great powder for the smaller Bees, glad I was able to pick some up. IMR 7828 ssc is also really good in both the 260 Rem and 6.5x55 with heavy bullets.

IMR 7828 SSC works for bigger Bees as well!

This is probably not everyone's first pick in stocks but to me never having owned a nice piece of furniture I picked this 270 Bee up at grabagun.com over in Tejas on the net and love it's beauty and it's not a bad shooter and yes it's already been customized by my clumsy gun handeling skills as the way I look at it, it's a rifle and stuff happens! All wood stocks are going to get marks on them and that does not bother me as if I own a firearm it has a chance to picked up and taken hunting anywhere anytime! Even the pretty ones :lol: the Alpha Hunter scope mount was made by Richard Near from up North as I am sure he is well know in your parts ! :mrgreen:
Congrat's on the combo as I like this caliber a lot :mrgreen:

You guys are too funny, except the last post ^^^ :lol:
Fotis listed his favorite load, how about the rest of you fine 270 Bee owners?

How sharper than a serpent's tooth. That hurts, Gerry; that really hurts. I may have to send in the Marines.

I'm hitting 73.5gr of 7828ssc with a Fed215 under a 130gr E-Tip set at 3.280" in Norma brass, if I recall correctly.

Gerry sorry to be late on this, good luck with your build, I've had other things on my mind lately and not thinking a lot about guns.

That joke would hold a lot better terminal ballistics if you weren't using a Chrony yourself, Scotty! That's some pretty serious indirect fire, taking aim at yourself...
Would it help to know I can back that up with a PACT Professional giving similar velocities? The benefits of being a packrat...
