Thread: Is this hot for a .270? Newbie reloading advice.

Book maximums are always conservative. 3080fps is not extraordinary for a 130gn pill in the 270win with a 24" barrel so if you are not getting any pressure signs (stiff bolt lift etc) then I don't see a problem. As @outdoorlad pointed out ambient temperature can make a difference but I have never heard of 2209 being prone to marked temperature instability either. Just get out hunting.
