    Reloading help

    Heya lads, am wanting to get into reloading for my steyr pro hunter 270. After reading a few forums quite a lot of people use the IMR 4350, and Sierra game kings. My question is there anyone out there who has loaded for this rifle before and what were the results, or does someone have a little bit of this powder I could use ( in swap for some refreshments) so I can try before I buy in bulk. Any help would be much appreciated.
    Cheers Mark

    My experience with Steyrs is that they are show pressure before max book loads where a Rem ness wont.
    My 308 loads in a mates Steyr are way hot.

    IMR 4350 IS ADI 2209 - thats what I use in my 270.

    My primers are VERY VERY flat and I wont share the load with you

    what size Game kings are you thinking of using?
    Im loading a 270 with ar2209 with 140gr Accubonds. Only halfway through load development and its a mates rifle so its taking time to get it done.
