Killing 270s makes me smile!
Looking at that Quickload data for the 140 gr. Nosler Ballistic tip, the max shown s three full grains over the max load for my push feeed M70 FWT in 7x57 and Ruger #1A. It is well over max in my custom Mauser in 7x57 and will lock up the bolt. My bad on that one. As it was safe in two rifles I made the assumption it would be OK in the custom. I was wrong. 
I bought some 150 gr. ABLRs to use in my .280 Rem. but decided to keep them for the 7x57. My preference is for Winchester brass in the 7x57 but Remington works quite well. I can't afford Norma or Lapua at this time in my life so the lesser brands will have to do. Besides, I have a friend who als in components and he made me a very good smokin' deal so I probably have enough to last me the rest of my life. :grin: 8)

My .270 was a project rifle that I bought from a friend who was too old to hunt anymore. I over paid him for a rifle that became a project to remember him by and provide me with a specially made custom rifle. That was 42 years ago and I am still using that .270 Win Super Grade as my most fond deer killer.

Do you know how dangerous a proposition your making Charlie? The only reason I pick on the 270 is I have a 280. So if I chose a 280 for a donor I'd be very tempted to shoot it ammo on hand. An 06 is very dangerous too. As I have a set of dies and brass for a friends rifle I load for I could see a 25-06 being very tempting and dangerous. That's the only reason I pick on a 270 is I don't have a desire to shoot one!!!

...Scotty, you need to face the reality that the .270 is the "Red-headed Stepchild" of the '06 clan... :? :twisted: :mrgreen:

I shot my 7X57 the other day after a morning of shooting a 338 Lapua, a 280 Ross and a 30-06. As I pulled the trigger, I was thinking, "Hey, I could get to like this. Recoil is insignificant, velocity is good, accuracy is excellent--yeah, I could go for this!" :grin:
