I'm getting ready to help my neighbor work up a load for his 270 and i've never worked with this caliber before. We will be loading the 130gr Sierra Pro Hunter. I would really appreciate it if you guys that load for a 270 using a 130gr bullet would give some imput as to what is your powder of choice or what has worked best for you with this combination? Thank You! Mike
I find that powders like H4831, old H450,and RE22 will enable you to get the highest velocities out of the .270 Win. But in my .270's, I got better accuracy at acceptable hunting velocities when I used IMR 4350 - 55.5 grains for the 130-grain bullet (MV 3000 FPS) and 53.5 grains with the 150 grain Nosler Partiton, MV 2850. This was in two Mannlicher-Schoenauer carbines with 20" barrels-twist 1/9"...... Some people get better accuracy with H4831 and RE22 than I did.
