.270 Win loads
 
Come on guys what do ya got? I'm planning on shooting either AccuBonds or Triple-Shocks for deer and bear. I know I could just look up some loads, but I like to see what has actually been proven to work well...

Thanks!

Gotta agree with RR...my .270's have usually always liked IMR 4350 in moderately healthy doses under 130 Sierras....

anotherpost for IMR4350. My pet load is 55 gr of IMR4350 behind a 130 gr Nosler BT or Sierra GK.

Thanks guys. I've loaded for a .270 before but have never used IMR4350. I'll give it a shot. Usually use H4831 and lately H414.

My Remington 7400 in 270 cal. loves the H414 with 54 gr, behind a 130 gr Nosler bullet .
Its a max load but shoots great .

I have shot my 270 using H4831 and Sierra 130 GK for over 25 years now. This combo has produced sub MOA at 100, 200 and 300 yards.

Sounds a lot like my load I developed this summer.

.......Although your .690" group is decent at 100 yds., it roughly should translate to a little over 2" at 300 yds. Still plenty good. What I want to see in person is the 300 yd. sub-MOA groups the other poster claims to be able to shoot with their .270.........

PAwildman,
1MOA (minute of angle)= 1" at 100 yards, 2" at 200 yds, 3'' at 300 yds., etc.

.......Perhaps I've been misinformed over the years...and someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I have always understood that MOA was approximately 1" @ 100 yds. It has been my interpretation that to shoot 1" groups at 300 yds., you'd best be shooting .33" or better at 100 yds. That is what I understand MOA to be for 300 yds.....sub 1".......???? And that is what I believed the post to read...."sub-MOA @ 300 yds."

Yes it is.
1 MOA (minute or arc or angle)= 1.047 inchesat 100yards, 2.094 inches at 200 yards. The greater the distance the wider the arc becomes.

If you were to draw an angle on a piece of paper you can see that the farther you move from the vertex the greater distance there is between the two lines.

A 1 MOA rifle and or load will shoot within 1 inch per every hundred yards in distance. At 1000 yards this would be a 10 inch group (10.47" to be exact).


you'd best be shooting .33" or better at 100 yds.
This would be a 1/3rd MOA rifle.

Yeah....you're right.... Don't know why I was thinking that at the time.... Simply got MOA and sub-1" groups at any range confused for a time...
Must have been having a "senior moment"......
