    Powder for short barrelled .270

    Hey Guys

    Have a 270 with a barrel of only 21". Any idea what powder I should go with? I thinking a bit short to use 2213sc, so maybe 2209?

    I use 2206H for my .308, any idea how that would go the 270?

    Will be using 130gr bullets.

    21inches ain't that short at all, all traditional 270 powders will work just fine. 2213sc, 2209, IMR4831, RL17 etc. My choice would be 2213sc, had good results with any projectiles, especially with 140gr weight projectiles. Next would be 2209

    Shorter barrels don’t necessarily require faster powders. Keep using the same powder you would use for whatever pill you are using. Great example is Rel 26 in my short 260. Slow burning powder but producing the best speeds over everything I tried (19” barrel).

    Holy shit that's 9 years ago! From memory used VN560 in the end. 270 long gone.
