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?

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).

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.

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

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.

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