Thank you to all who replied, I don't have the gun yet (still on layway) but dang am I getting excited about bringing it home and reloading for it. Because the .270 WSM is so new, andthere is not much info out yet I haven't decided what powder and bullet to use, but betweenthis and otherweb sites I am learning and getting ideas. I plan on trying several different types of powder and bullets. I just hope the gun is a accurate shooter. For those of you that replied what speeds are you getting with the 130's and also with the 140 grain pills. I agree the 130 grain is just fine fordeer and antelope, but I am leaning towards the 140 grainersbecause of the higer BC number and the fact that out of a 24" tubeit should be a bit faster than the normal 270 winchester shooting 130's. The way I look at it I should be able to push a 140 grain bullet somewhere around 3240 on up to 3300 feet per second. Thats plenty fast for me, heck if I need more speed than that I'll just load up my 300 Ultra Mag with 150 grainers to 3600 f/s. Anyway enough rambling from me. Thanks again Jason
