Thread: 270 reloading

Hey Team
Only been reloading for a while and looking for some input, ive been using 130gr sierra game kings with alliant R19 and these have been very good,
grouping very tight at 50 and 100mts with about 1.5 inches drop at 200 (max length club range where i go) nothing ever got up afterwards with 130gr. but i recently bought some 140gr game changer projectiles (ballistic plastic tip...better BC and energy) thought a little extra punch would be good... and using the same powder (R19) the grouping is not so good anyway what are powder you guys using for 270 win with the 140gr projectiles. i read that 270 is best suited from 130 to 150gr so going for the middle ground any thoughts welcome
Cheers

I'm currently working up a load using the Gamechangers and Reloder 23. Haven't actually shot any yet but the numbers on paper with R23 look pretty good

I tried the 90 gr Game Changers in my 243 and can't get them to group at all ( over 2 inch) but it will put 95 SST, and BT into 14mm -19 mm groups most the time.
Your rifle like mine may not like the game changer designed bullet ...... maybe.

2213 would be another powder to try.

I was just going to suggest to take up the fabled @Mooseman load with superformance and 145gr eldx

I'm gonna be trying a few different projectiles with 2217 or h1000 but stillma couple weeks off actually doing any load development

Hey Mooseman
Good point some projectiles just dont work, there is a comment in the tread about a load of yours with superformance and 145gr eldx how did that go
was that a winner...would you share as im new here...thanks for your response

I couldnt get the gamechangers to group at all in my sako 270. Ended up with vld 140s and superperformace shooting tight groups

I’m a Fan of moosemans load 145gr eldx surperformance powder shoots very well 3 shots and 3 reds so far from 200 to 500 yards .

Hahaha bring on @Mooseman. I sold my pooseventy not long before the moose shared his maGic

2213 is awesome powder in 270.....from 130grn-170grns going to try some h1000 myself one day....140grn loads work well too.
dont overthink it....poke your round through shoulders and your deer will fall over dead.

You know you're the only one in nz using 170gr MD. How many of those suckers do you have stashed?

about 60 left...and NO you cant have any....have been outbid on other boxes of them twice on trademe.....

Serves you right for not keeping it quiet

2213sc has long been a go to powder for 270, especially with 140gr and up projectile weights. Usually good speed and accuracy.
