.277 130 Accubond

[ROVERT]

Dan, Scotty is all over it. I am using RL-22. I worked up to 61 grains for my rifle.

Sorry for the slow response. I've been dedicating my spare time to putting my four wheeled toy back together. Good luck wit the load development. The 130 AB's liked a lot of jump in my rifle.

Also, I've seen pretty strong correlation in performance between bullets recovered from water jugs and bullets recovered from deer. I haven't recovered enough from either to make any scientific conclusions, though.

Trevor here is a 165 gr. AccuBond from water jugs at 25 yards.

Here is a 180 gr. AccuBond from an elk at 90 yards. My son shot this with his 300 WSM.

I think that the water jugs give a pretty fair comparison really. It's cheap, fun, and something we all can do with different bullets so we have an accurate comparison as we are all shooting into the same thing.

Hi there all members.
I am a new comer here and it is my pleasure.
recently I purchased 2 lots of Nosler 130gr. AB. for my 270win rifle.
I am a little confused by this long bullet as I used to reload Sierra or Hornady ,because of unavailability of Nosler AB or BT etc.
my questions is around it's Max. CAOL in my rifle without touching rifling without or any pressure.
I gauged it yesterday and really amazing , it touched the rifling around 86.70mm, while my magazine Max. length is about 83.80mm .
I must back the bullet in what accurate CAOL and not losing my accuracy.
I chrono 2850fps with 83mm CAOL with Sierra pro hunter 130gr. with44gr. IMR 4895.
Bests

Welcome aboard buddy. I wouldn't worry about being on the rifling with the AB. I have found they tend to shoot just fine with some jump. Your going to make most of us pull out our calculators to convert metric to standard, but the easiest way to start would be to load to the max of your magazine for good feeding and tweak it back from there. Find a solid powder charge and see what shoots. I am betting you'll find something pretty easily.

Rami270,

Load your cartridge to fit the magazine and adjust the powder charge for accuracy. Many rifles restrict the COAL by the magazine. These rifles can still be made to shoot very accurately through adjusting the powder charge. Welcome to the forum. Many of the fellows here will be able to help you along.

 

[rami270]

Dear Gentlemen
I appreciated of your notice and sorry to bother you I use metric.
To be truth , considering your all perfect experiences of loading and loading on and on , here it is very poor and as new comer to reloading , I try to dig my own way to follow usa standards and guidelines.
Sierra was great and now some of guys here used lots of Partition lots and ballistic Tips and rare to E-tip or AccuBond.

I 'll try to follow my max. Magazine length to reload the AB 130's in my rifle. it is my first time to reload Nosler bullets.
thanking you all
Rami

I used metric at work for 20 years. Welcome aboard and don't worry about using millimeters we can convert.

 

[rami270]

Hi there all :
I 'm wondering about the max. and min. jump of bullet in chamber !
I want to tweak it back around 3.287'' .
Thanks
Rami

 

[FOTIS]

That would work well from coyotes to elk!

 

[JD338]

Game animals are 85% water inside. That is about the only relevence of shooting jugs. Some take jugs and wrap them with pork ribs to simulate shooting medium game.

I can't imagine that. Pork ribs are better suited on the grill!

[DrMike]

Oh, my, how good those pork ribs look, Jim. I'm with you; I can't imagine someone shooting those ribs just to test a bullet. I'd rather eat the ribs. :grin:

Dan, Scotty is all over it. I am using RL-22. I worked up to 61 grains for my rifle...

Since that's a full 3 grains over max load in the Nosler #6, I'd certainly be cautious of high pressures in that load. It would be interesting to see what quickload shows for that powder charge. I'm not bashing your load, just making it clear to others reading this thread that both your powder charge and velocity are not the normal for the 270 Winchester.

MG, here is what 61 grains of RL22 looks like. While it is in the 60K+ range, I wouldn't be scared of it, working up to it of course..

Perfect, thanks Jim. Those are going to get done up tomorrow night I think..

 

[rami270]

Hi there all:
Is it wise to make CAOL around 85.00 or 86.00mm I mean single shooting with this length and more than SAAMI Std 84.84mm for 270win. .
I try to do it with AB130 and I am in doubt!.
Thanking You
Rami

Are you talking about mm's? The COAL is 3.340 inches according to Nosler #6.

 

[CatskillCrawler]

Your OAL is 3.346-3.386" which is a suitable length for the 270Win cartridge if it fits in your chamber.

Yes, but if considering magazine length as it is Mauser m98 action , it must be below 3.314.
The magazine doesn't allow more than this size!.

in single shooting it is ok but in hunting situation hmmmm, I must tweak back acc. to magazine.
