Anyone have a good recipe for a .270.
 

Well I got my new reloading gear and I'm eager to start. It may be a few weeks thoughthe wife and I are moving but from our new house I can hear the shots coming from the shooting range and almost see the shooting sheds.

I want to know if any of you have a good starting recipe for me. I have a few data manuels but they have so many to choose from its crazy. I'm shooting my name sake and like speed and accuracy, but accuracy more than anything.

So what's your bestcombinations? What's it group and what's its velocity?

53-55gr of IMR4350 and 130gr gameking or bullistic tip is my goto round for MD deer. But I have had great luck in a buddies gun with 48gr of IMR4064 and 130gr pills.

I don't reload or have the manuals, but I know my .270 loves federals 130gr soft point load, just the cheap old federals....so if you have that load listed.....

Out of my BAR holes touch....3 shot groups @100ydsI'd say 1/2"overall (not center to center).

RE: Anyone have a good recipe for a .270.
 

130gr Sierra (PH or Gameking) seated to the lands, IMR 4831 as hot as you care to take it. Fast and pretty accurate.

RE: Anyone have a good recipe for a .270.
 

I agree with the use of IMR 4350 in the .270 WCF. I found that while I got more velocity with H4831, my best accuracy with 130-grain bullets came with 55.5 grains of IMR 4350, and with 150-grain bullets, 53.5 grains of IMR 4350 was best. This with Nosler Partition bullets.

In both cases,velocity was plenty adequate, even though less than I used toget with H4831.

Would you happen to have those velocity figures? I'm interested. Thanks.

I've had good luck with 130 grain bullets loaded on top of 55.0 grains of IMR-4350!

RE: Anyone have a good recipe for a .270.
 

Well, yes. I shot those loads in 20" Mannlicher-Sdhoenauer carbine barrels of 20" length and 1/9" twist. The 130's went 2950 FPS, and I got just over 2800 with the 150's.

RE: Anyone have a good recipe for a .270.
 

I have excellent results using 55 gr of IMR4350 and the 130 Gameking or Nosler Ballistic Tip.

My old 721 Rem. likes IMR 4350 @ 55.5 gr. and 130 gr. Sierras....Rem 9 1/2 Primer.

RE: Anyone have a good recipe for a .270.
 

I haven't started loading my 270win just yet , but I am tring the 140gr accubond with H4831SC first. The 140gr Partition & B-Tip are other optionsI will try out but the accubond will most likely do anything from antilope to elk close or far. The 140gr Hornady Spire Point BT is another bullet to look at.

What distances are you shooting at and at what game? And what is your barrel length 22" or 24"?

RE: Anyone have a good recipe for a .270.
 

I've shot everything from antelope to moose with Hornady 130gr handloads in Win cases ,Fed mag primers and 57gr of IMR 4831............No you don't need a 50BMG for moose..................Harold

RE: Anyone have a good recipe for a .270.
 

I hear ya I have an hand me down 35rem that has taken a few moose but it is quit a cannon at less than 100 yards.

My 270 win likes the 150 & 140s being the the best. There are so many choices in 270 Winammo I haven't had to load for it yet. Started reloading first to get back to the old Express 35 Rem velocities in my 336, and then for the 358 Win. Now that I have hand taylored loads for themthe 270 win will be next and then the 35 whelen.

Not knowing what grain bullets some one's gun likes the best I usually advise the 140gr bullets. Between Nosler & Hornady all the different bullet types are covered (Partition, B-Tip, Accubond, & InterLock).

RE: Anyone have a good recipe for a .270.
 

57.5 grs. of H-4831 or 57 grs. of rl-22 with a 150 gr. speer hot cor.

54gr. of IMR 4350 with 130gr. Nosler bt. in a Rem 700 with 22" barrell.

RE: Anyone have a good recipe for a .270.
 

A 130 gr. corelokt works pretty well too.
