270 wsm loading

[Sas874runner]

Have not started to load for my 270 wsm. All the factory loads are crimped with cannelure bullets. Does the 270 wsm require a crimped case.

No crimp is needed at 270 WSM recoil, I don't even think about crimping my 375 Ruger loads.

I have never crimped for my 270WSM. It is not that it is bad; it simply isn't necessary.

 

[Sas874runner]

Makes sense. I was just unsure due to all factory loads that I have are crimped. Any favorite recipes?

RL22 and 150 BT's or PT's. WW cases, CCI 250 primers.

It is a solid combo for the cartridge.

I am with the others, I don't crimp any loads for my 270 WSM either. Never found an issue with it.

Like the other guys have stated, there is no reason to crimp 270 WSM ammunition. I do not crimp any rifle ammo except for loads for the .416 Rigby. My .375 H&H loads have been to Africa several times now, with no crimp and no problems.

As to favorite loads for the 270 WSM I have a couple. With the 140 grain Nosler Partition a max load of RL 22 gives 3200 fps and great groups. With the 110 grain Barnes Tipped TSX a max load of IMR 4350 gives 3600 fps and great groups (really hammers antelope).

All my loads use Winchester cases and Fed 215M primers.

I probably never would have bought a 270 WSM, but I won one at a dinner and it has become a real favorite. Great killing power and virtually no recoil.

As previously mentioned no crimp is needed.
My load is 66 gr of rl22 with a 140 AccuBond. Shoots bug holes out of my tikka.

Magpro is my powder of choice for the 270WSM regardless of bullet. If (when) I get specific on finite details on a given load, RL-19 is my choice for 130gr, Magpro or RL22 for 140gr, and Retumbo for 150gr bullets.

I don't think there is a poor choice from the 4350's and slower for the 270WSM. It does seem to be a cartridge that shows more promise as the powder charge increases.

 

[Mighty Peace]

No crimping for me. 140gr Accubonds with Retumbo with 215 primers. One of the Tikka T3 LS 270WSM rifle likes 69.0gr the other 71.0gr-THIS LOAD is a COMPRESSED LOAD. Only powder I tried initially, and never looked back.

I now need to develope a new load for the recently aquired Sako m75ss 270WSM that I bought myself for a XMAS present.

Fed. 210M, 62.5 R-19, Norma Brass, W/140 gr. AccuBond Browning A bolt W/Bell & Carlson aluminun bedding block stock. Shoots very good groups.I have seen custom rifles that would not shoot this good. I only crimp for auto's and I only have 1 of them. Hope this helps.

No one likes the 130 grainers?

I don't (currently) own a .270wsm, but if I will in the future, I would sure try them. In my pre '64 Winchester 70 .270, the 130 partitions really are the cat's meow!

Jim,

I'm running 130 grain E-Tips in my 270WSM. I've taken whitetail, elk and moose with this load. I don't see any reason to change at this point.

 

[buckfever]

My dads 270 wsm likes 7828 and 150 gr sierra boat tails.
