Thread: 270 powder loads?

Personally I wouldnt bother with the 2217, fine for magnums but if you are starting with compressed loads you dont have anywhere to go. I also think compressed loads are not for a begginner or someone new to reloading.
The good thing about SST's is that they dont need to be flat out to perform ( thats why they are a good choice at longer ranges where a bit of speed has bled off )

I dont know why Kurly man doesnt like ADI powder, but thats his choice. It is used all over the world and marketed as Varget ( 2208 ), H4831 SC (2213 sc), H 4350 (2209) etc etc
The reason a lot of people use it( here in NZ ) is because of availabilty, and often you cant get a hold of your favourite powder you bought 2 years ago but thats not usually the case with ADI. Possibly when it was marketed as Mulwex their rep wasnt as good as it is now, but I think they have come a long way.

If you know of someone handy that reloads and has these powders, you may be able to try some before you splash out on a can? That way you get to try a couple of different powders.
Most of us will have a few tins lying around that were tried out to be the next big thing but didnt suit the rifle / projectile / caliber

I'm not qualified to comment on the theories of powder dynamics as case capacity reduces, I would recomend staying within the reloading manuals limits and working from a reduced load to find the accuracy nodes present within the parameters of the bullet weight / powder combos.
You may well find that you need to use lighter bullets as i did, remember that the heavier projectile will result in greater recoil as well.
