Thread: Reloading for 270 Win

Hi all..
New to the reloading world..
Would like to develop a load for my 270.. was thinking of trying the EDL X projectiles..
The question I have is what powders are people using for this projectile?

Thank you in advance for your replies.

ADI 2213sc
do a search of the forum there's a few threads about 145eldx in 270 win, its a bloody devastating round if you can get a load to suit your rifle

Using ar2213sc with 140 Berger and 129 Barnes, great accuracy with both.

if you are as your name suggests a once a year deer shooter....consider a 150 grn partition load......not saying the eldx isnt going to be good...just that the partitions are AWESOME. 2213sc is good powder to use. last deer fell to a 110grn tsx the 3 before that were 140grn plain old boring 140grn hornady interlocts.... if you hit em in the front wheels they go not far and the engine room is stuffed at same time.

the 270 gang will be here shortly I'm sure...😉

Mooseman had a great load that he shared. Should come up in thread search.

some of us are already here, just don't much feel like regurgitating information that has been listed in detail elsewhere already, as previously stated do a search it will come up.

Get some 2209 or some 2213sc

Shoot stuff far away = 150 VLD or 145 ELDx

Shoot stuff 0-400 = 150 Partition or 150 Norma Oryx

130s are dumb

140gn Accubond with 60gn Ar2213 were a good combo for me.

AMEN to that.....once upon a time people bought a reloading manual....made of paper ,with real pages you could read.... some of us still have 3 or 4 of them in the shelf LOL.
its no good me giving you MY pet loads ....if your rifle is like my buddies and you feed it one of my rifles loads,you may well be picking up your teeth from the ground after touching one off. want a starting point???? look in a manual...cant find 145grn??? look at 140 and 150 and split it in half.... job done. start low and work your way up.

Black watch currently have boxes of 100 150gr Norma Oryx for 60 pesos, that's bloody good value for a premium projectile. I have been using them in my wsm after I realised you dont need wizz bang plastic tipped heat seeking missiles to shoot deer and they are devastating as a 0-600 load in the wsm, would go good as a 0-400yd load in the winny

Shearer...that load looks waay hot 60 GRNS behind a 130 is hot enough if you can fit it in the case..... which just prooves whats already been said......

Shit, that's like $4.69NZD, almost worth getting a 270!...

@1 deer a year like we talked about I reckon hybrid 100v or superperformance could be worth a look, else like everyone says 2213sc is a well proven performer. Welcome to try a bit of my hybrid 100v and see how it goes.

Sorry. I must have forgotten to put the disclaimer in.
"Use this load in your own rifle, without working up to it, at your own risk. Shearer takes no responsibility for injury or death caused by a failure to do so".
As I said 140gn Accubonds with 60gn of Ar2213 were a good combo for me.
