Loads for .270

[sureshot]

What are your favorite loads for the .270.

[FallAirFever]

Before I started reloading my go to were Federal Premium 130 gr Nosler Partitions. Took many deer and a moose. 130 gr Federal Fusions shot well in my gun and I was happy with how they worked on deer. 130 gr TSX also shot well, the couple deer I shot with them only had pencil hole pass thru.

Now that I reload my son shoots my 270. He is shooting 130gr Sierra Prohunters pushed by H4895.

When he starts shooting full hunting loads we are going to try 110gr TTSX.

I load 130 TSX bullets over stout charge of IMR 4831. I've become a real fan of the TSX bullets over the years.

[bat119]

130 partition over 58 grs. IMR4831

Been working a lot of years for me, can be a warm load in some guns
, work up to it

[gitrdun]

140 gr. Sierra GK's, 54.8gr RL22. WLR primers. 2823 fps.

[Dick284]

55gr of H4350, and a Hornady 130gr. Interlock.
57.5 gr. IMR4831, and a 130gr. TSX
58gr. IMR7828, and a 140gr. Accubond.
57.0 gr. IMR4350, and a 100gr. Barnes X (original)
46gr. Varget and a 130gr. Winchester PP.

That's 5 different loads in 5 different rifle's.

There is no best overall, just what worked well in the individual firearm.

Keeping a close eye on this thread as I have a 1980's Remington 700 left handed in 270 in the mail....

[Pathfinder76]

A 130gr bullet over a case full of H4831.

I bought the nosler accubonds 130 grain factory ammo need brass anyway. I will try out a few of these recommendations

Never ever go by these posts alone, use the nosler book, what if one of these are a hoax and you end up with a bolt in the face.

Yeah I know I always double check in my manuals, I use these more as a base for what powders to use.

[twispi]

60g of 4831sc

[NSDucknut]

62gr H1000 with 140gr sierra gameking
43.8gr imr 8208xbr with 130 speer hotcor soft point

Same rifle

[Pioneer2]

I use 57gr of IMR 4831/130gr bullet on everything from mice to moose.Harold

[Bushleague]

As a factory shooter I've come to use the Fusion 130 and 150 grain loads exclusively. Having never recovered a 130 from a deer, even those shot straight on or steeply quartering, I suspect that they would be enough bullet for moose. Having never had to shoot a moose at further than a couple hundred yards I generally use the 150's anyway.

True. Do your homework and check manuals against the posts. I suppose a fellow could have a typo error, but a hoax? or purposeful misguidance would have to come from a real something hole.

[Sitkaspruce]

53.5 gr IMR4350, Win Lg rifle primer, 140 gr Hornady BTSP. 2975 fps. Been my load for 30 years.

Cheers

That's true and we've seen our share of those .

[raab]

O'Connors favourite load was a 130gn bullet over 60gn of h4831. Personally I use 140gn nosler accubonds over 58gn's of H4831.

[Mateo]

53.0 gr IMR 4350
Winchester brass
Remington 9 1/2 primer
Berger 130gr HVLD

Accurate load in the ol remington 700

[bighorn1]

54.5gr imr 4350
130 gr nosler partition

This is my pet load and by far the best groups out of the 3 270's I load for
