Anyone have load data for the 270WSM and VVN165 powder combo.
No one in town carries the VV reloading manual and the online version is from 2006 and lacking. it show 90,140 and 160gr bullets and I'm looking for 130,140 and 150 gr bullets. I know I can use heavier bullet data for lighter bullets and work from there but I would like hard data from a manual.
One person here uses 65gr VVN165/140 Nosler AccuBond so I'll start low ad work up to that.
any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hornady's ® latest manual listed these loads for the .270WSM using VV N-165 and their bullets:

130 gr SST start 61.7 gr Max 67.9 gr velocity 3200
140 gr SST start 60.4 gr Max 66.6 gr velocity 3100
150 gr SST start 57.8 gr Max 64.8 gr velocity 3000

I used the Hornady data to work up to my 65.0 gr load with the 140 gr AccuBond. Don't think it is maximum in my rifle, but chronoed over 3100 fps when the barrel was new and was so accurate, I stopped right there.
