need starting load for 270 wsm and 130gr bt rl22

2elkhunt · Dec 23, 2006

Can anyone give me the starting point and max point for 130 gr Ballistic Tips and Reloader 22, and IMR 4350.

I just got a md 70 super shadow and have shot a couple of boxes through it and it shoots very well, so now i'm going to some reloads. It will probably be my back up rifle unless it really impresses me, because I have a md 70 sporter in 7mm STW and I really love how it shoots and puts down deer.

Try starting at 62gn and published max is 66gn of RL-22.
For IMR 4350 try 59gn to start and 63 as listed max.

Personnally, I would try RL-19, starting at 61.5gn and a max of 65.5gn

I have basically the same gun, but I'm shooting the 140AB with 61.5gn of RL-19 and Fed GM215M primers and a COL of 2.875".

You may want to give the new 130AB a thought, use the same data as mentioned above.
