favorite .270 loads

[goose25]

I have a buddy that is getting into reloading, we would like to know what are your favorite .270 loads?

might narrow it down for us, thanks.

 

[STW]

53.0 grs of W-W 760 and 130 gr Nosler ballistic tip.

I cant remember the exact amount of powder but its a max load of reloader 22 and 140 sierra hpbt gamekings, this is the most accurate load that I have found for our 270s, the b-tips shoot good with this load to. I have also found that IMR 4350 shoots good with a b-tip.

I like a stiff load of R22 with a good 130 gr bullet in mine.

 

[T_Ron]

try 59 grs. RL19 with a moly coated 130gr BST, or an X-bullet

 

[old #7]

IMR 4831 and a 140gr AccuBond

 

[honkeetonkin]

57 grains of imr 7828 behind 140 ballistic tip or AccuBond. sub moa in model 70 and encore pistol. Near max so work up to it. good luck, Rick

Nosler AccuBond 140 g, 52 grains N160.
Sierra sp 140 g, 54 g N160.

In my Ruger #1 those two loadings are dead center. The Sierra sp is a little shorter than the AB; shorter OAL length.

I like the 140grain AccuBond with either 53grs of H4350 or 58grs of H4831SC in a Winchester Cases and Winchester Primers. Seat it to 3.250" OAL. The mv for the 4350 load is like 2880 fps, and the mv for the 4831 is more like 2960 fps, both shoot real good!

 

[remingtonman_25_06]

58.5g of h4831sc or RL-22 with 150g NBT or SBT. Winchester case, Fed 210 primer, seated to touch the lands. Excellent accuracy and velocity out of the 22" remington BDL. I was getting 2950-3000fps and .5MOA. Would make very good long range deer/antelope loads...

 

[FOTIS]

130 gr 60 gr rl22 or h4831

150 gr
58 gr rl22 h4831

 

[257 roberts]

Lapua brass
CCI primer
55grain of IMR 4350
130grain Sierra Pro-Hunter

 

[Jar Head]

55.5 gr. of H-4831sc & 130 gr. Partitions out of my model 70
55.5 gr. of the same powder w/ 140 gr. Hornady btsp interlocks out of the wifes Ruger.

I'm on my fourth favorite load, which I've decided to make my baseline load, the one that I'll compare all others to. All the following use Winchester Brass, and WLR primers.

1) 130 gr Sierra GKBT, 49.5 gr IMR 4320.

2) 140 gr Sierra HPBT, 59 gr RL-22.

3) 140 gr Sierra HPBT, 58.5 gr H-4831sc.

4) 130 gr Nosler Solid Base, 59 gr. H-4831sc.

Each of these is very accurate in my rifle, but I've settled on the 130 Nosler Solid Base as my standard.

For our Blacktail deer, the Sierra 130 would be fine. I believe the Sierra 140 HPBT is too hard, and the 130 Nosler SB sounds like it'd be perfect.

As luck would have it, I got a ton of seconds from Nosler's Pro Shop at a very good price, and they print to the same POI as the 130 Nosler Partition, which is nice if I should ever want to step up to a premium bullet.

Otherwise, I plan to use these 130 SBs to practice, practice, practice on paper, and if the opportunity presents itself, I'll use them for varmint hunting (in addition to deer).

 

[Bowhntr]

55 grns IMR-4350 with 130 grain AB. The ballistic tip works great but not a very close range. I'll use the same load with BT's when I'm clear-cut or powerline hunting.
