Nosler 270 brass-New never fired and Hornady 270 Win Once fired-sorry no water measurements.
140 AccuBond
Reloader 26 powder
Would this powder work well, it seems to work well with the big brother 150 weights.
Also how about 150 ballistic tip, 150 AccuBond LR with R26? thanks
 
Works as well as any powder with that bullet.

These calculations refer to your specified settings in QuickLOAD 'Cartridge Dimensions' window.
C A U T I O N : any load listed can result in a powder charge that falls below minimum suggested
loads or exceeds maximum suggested loads as presented in current handloading manuals. Understand
that all of the listed powders can be unsuitable for the given combination of cartridge, bullet
and gun. Actual load order can vary, depending upon lot-to-lot powder and component variations.
USE ONLY FOR COMPARISON !

Wow, might have to get another 270 win.

A word of caution about RL26 that Scotty alerted me to. You may hit max before you get to QL or Alliant's max charge weight. I did in both my 270wsm and 25-06. That said I was able to get excellent accuracy and their velocity at a lower charge weight before I saw pressure signs.
 
Wow, indeed! Dr. Mike, what would those barrel times with a 24" barrel? Could I reach node 4; 1.1016 mS?

Thank you for checking.

Reloder 26 sure looks impressive in the .270. I bought a couple of pounds last year but haven't had a chance to work with it yet. I also have 140 Accubonds I've had for several years that I haven't tried yet. Maybe its time to get off high center here. I could be happy with a 140 gr going 3000 fps.
 
It looks like getting to node 4 with a 24" barrel is pushing it. However, look at the node 5: around 2,980 fps with only 50,520 psi.

Thank you Dr. Mike.

Dan, you should be fine with node number 4, just work up in increments.
 
the number 4 node on a 22" barrel, like my featherweight, is 1.127 which equals 2980 fps and 54 k pressure with the 140 grain bullet. If that would shoot real small, I'd be ok with it.
