Thread: 22" .270 Win Load : Accuracy or Speed?

Hi All

Load developing for my Rem 700 rifle in .270Win. 22" pencil pipe barrel. wanting a good load for up to 300yd. Prod is Hornady 130gr SST. CBTO 2.800"/ 0.01" jump

See the pics of 2 loads shot at 100yrds yesterday. good weather and temp. Gun was off bench under shade of tree. 3 shot strings with cooling between. all the normal stuff.



I chronograph'd loads with a Crony branded one and they seem slow?? hit a node at 59gr 2213SC but speed only 2775 avg?? is this normal?

Maybe hitting a node at 61.5gr 2213SC, (was max I went to) speeds are better. no pressure signs showing.

Brass is Winchester brass, is this the problem?

What are others getting for speeds?

Do I just go for the 59gr load and take a hit on the velocity etc?

Sorry for a whole bunch of questions.
