    best powder to use for .270

    Just wondering what the best powder is to use in the .270 once I start reloading for it planning on just getting one of those lee classic loaders that you need to use a rubber mallet with due to lack of room for a proper reloading set up due to having to move into a small flat.

    Try RL19 or RL22. I've had good results with both...accurate and good velocity.

    I've had good success with 2209 and 2213sc
    If my work annoys me, I cull them

    Was out last night testing loads 2209 and 130 Sierra . 3 shots all touching . Don't know how fast they are going ? Don't care ! Won't change a thing . Very very happy with that .

    I have had very good success with both RL 22 and AR2209. I Only run 130gr pills through my 270 though.

    I've used 2209 and also 2213sc in a 270win. Better speed from the 2213sc but not as accurate as the 2209. This was pushing 130 gr Scirroco's

    There was bugger all difference with the 140gr Accubonds
