270 WSM & WXR Powder

[Troutman]

Due to limited availability of a lot of the powders (here in Australia), can you recommend starting & maximum load with Winchester WXR using the 140 Gr AccuBond in .270 WSM? Is the existing data in your manual for the 140 Gr Ballistic Tip interchangeable with the 140 AccuBond?

So far WXR and RL 22 seem about the same visa vi pressure and charge weight. It's too cold here to bother with the chrono quite yet.

I shot some nice groups today with the 270 WSM and WXR using the 130 gr SST seated deep. The load that shot best was 67 grs.

I seated the bullets all the way to the candleure which is deeep!

Wait for Nosler to answer my post on seating depths.
