Thread: 270 loads

Hi Guys
My son has just brought a 270 and I will do some reloading for him.
I was wondering what load builds people were using, not long range shooting and for deer and pigs.
Just interested in what load date and projectile weight and powder everyone is using.
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hornady 140g SST
Nosler 140 Ballistic Tip
Hornady 145g eldx

ADI 2217 powder
Federal primers

Dead deer out as far as you can see them

Mate is in the same boat. Has access to superperformance, h4831 and imr4350 plus 150ssts and 150nbts. Anyone used something from these as a combo?

Yep 57grs of Superformance with the 145 gr ELDX, accurate and good on deer. SF is temperature sensitive so caution is needed if loading in winter then using the same loads in summer might cause pressure problems, i would suggest 55 grs and work up from there. My load does over 3000 fps so it's up there. Loads I have tried with 2213 SC with 150 gr Partitions would onl get 2800 fps.

150gr berger goes very well in my experience. 2213sc or 2217 will be your friend. Mines an old parker hale so mag length is a bit rubbish but it isnt phased by that

My go to was 140gn Nosler AB and AR2213. Was getting 3000fps from a 24" barrel. Killed reallly well.

2208 behind a 140gr hndy interlock is my goto

Reloder 23 is the magic powder for 270 and 140+ projectiles

Win 760 and 110g Barnes
2213sc and 150g Oryx

140gr or 150gr. The 150 SST is a great bullet but there are no real bads ones in that weight range.

This guy didn't stop to ask what hit him yesterday
150g Oryx just behind the shoulder punched a nice clean exit through the other

Go 140 AB. At least half the deer will stand and sway after being hit then plonk over, but you will never loose one like happens with cheap non bonded projectiles

Greetings All,
It would almost be rude not to try Jack OConnor's often quoted load of 60 grains of 4831 behind the 130 grain projectile even if it was just on paper. Jack worked up this load just after WW2 using surplus 4831 powder. H4831 is still sold in the US but is manufactered in Oz as AR2213SC and Hodgdon still lists the 60 grain load with the 130 grain 75 years after Jack developed it.

Mate found 8lb of the old reclaimed H4831 in a cupboard last month, used to pay $4 a lb for it in the good old days from Reloaders.

There is also his "accurate load" of 4064 that he used before he found 4831
