Thread: First time reloading 270win

760 is a really easy powder to use...and those projectiles are going to be awesome..... far to good for just paper punching.

I agree. From what I have read, they were a great performer in their day. I have 122 of them so hoping they work out for this rifle and I’ll keep them for hunting only. W760 is listed as the equivalent of 2209 so same start charge weights?

No, Winchester 760 is not the same as AR2209 - it requires its own data that you can find here:

The various powder 'equivalence' charts floating about should have huge warnings attached to them that they do not imply any form of commonality or substitution between powders. The only thing the chart provides is an approximation of relative burning rate, but this is very subjective.
