    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.

    best powder to use for .270

    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
