    270wsm loads

    Interested in hearing what people are loading in the 270wsm. Bought some new norma brass today and want to start some load development loads while I wait for new rifle to turn up.
    Im really wanting to use a 150gr projectile, the 150 LRABs went really well in my 270win, but they are a bit hard to come by, which is a pain in the ass when you really need them, so my next choice would probably be 150 VLDs as I think I can source them easier.
    Want a bit of an allround load 100-600+ yds, Camois, Tahr, Reds, how do the VLDs go up close? I was worried with the LRABs but they performed brilliantly up close and out far.
    I also have 150 sst, 150 gmx, 140 interlock, and 130 VLDs on hand to try, but to make the most of the increased case capacity over the 270win I really think I should be sticking with something in the 150gr range.
    Also interested in powder and primer choice, i have 2209, 2213sc, 2208, N560, W760, W780 on hand but I could get something else if none of the above are really suitable.
    I have traditionally used CCI200 primers for everything, should I be using a magnum primer?
    Cheers for any advice.
