270 win

Hey guys I've been given a 270 win from an old guy that wants some reloads made. He's given me 140 berger classic hunters and rl26.
I've never reloaded 270, does anyone have a good starting point or a proven load etc. Just a nice cruisey load, not after anything too hot.
Cheers

AR2213sc yes....but not rl26
just go to book and drop down say 3grns off max and see how it goes. whats the rifle???

Ok thanks ,its a handmade wooden stock shilen barrel and Husqvarna action i think

From another forum.

35 Whelen I tried some RL26 with a 140gr Hornady BTSP for the first time. I've been married to H4831sc for quite some time using the same bullet with great results. Just thought I would give this new powder a shot. I'm glad I did . I started at 58.5gr and worked up to 61.5gr.
58.5grRL26-2925
59.5grRL26-2955
60.5grRL26-3030
61.5grRL26-3115
Best group was 61.5gr at .5in. The others weren't as good. Primers were fine and bolt lift normal. I won't go any farther as that is more than good enough for me. At 3115fps this load tops my load using H4831sc by 200fps. That's considerable.

Cheers mate, somewhere to start

Try swap the RL26 for some Superperformance

All sorted today, 60grns rl26 at 3.340 got me .5 group at 2990fps and verified at 510m and 730m with 12 rounds so happy days. Cheers everyone
