reloading for 270wsm

steviebiggun · 10-05-2011, 02:35 PM

Hello, I want to try reloading the 140 grain accubond bullets for my 270wsm, the powder I have on hand is IMR 4350, where should I start with this bullet/powder combination and what is the maximum powder charge I dare use.
Thanks, Steve

The Nosler website shows that with a starting load of 56.5gr of 4350 will get you MV of 2938fps. With a maximum load of 60.5gr with a MV of 3154fps.
I hope this is of help.

My 270 WSM (Tikka T3 Stainless Lite) really liked the 140g AccuBonds pushed by 55.5g of H4350...I eventually landed with a slightly more accurate and a hair faster load (clocking right at 3000 FPS) using 58.5g of H4831sc (one of my all time favorite powders). My 25 WSSM also likes the H4831sc the best of all the powders I have tried to date as well.

Magpro is also a very good option for the wsm calibers. Here is a load with 75gr magpro, 130gr Barnes tsx, Winchester magnum primers. Happens to be what it shoots the best with. This is just for reference though. It is actually over what most books have as
Max load.

Ps this is in a browning m-1000 eclipse 26 inch
