    I used to use two 270's one was a lightweight and was used as a bush gun. In it I ran 130 grn hornady SP with IMR 4350 behind it ( similarish to h4350 / ar2209 )
    The theory being for a short barrel to use a faster powder. I was getting 2850 fps
    Seated short to just behind the cannelure
    I also ran a 24 inch barreled XTR best load developed was 140 grn SSt's behind AR2213 sc for a MV of 2910 fps I had both these old 1980's rifles shooting sub moa.
    Seated out real long with about a 10 thou jump.
    But each one shot a different load and powder, so what I am getting to is that you need to do load development to suit your individual circumstances.
    I tried 150's in both these guns but couldnt get them to group / shoot any where near as good as the others I mentioned
