270 Loads

Just wanting to know some good hunting and bench loads you guys use with your 270win. Im using 140gr sierra HPBT with 43grs of ADI2208 sparked by CCI BR primers.

I use 130gr Hornady SST or Nosler BT with R22 and CCI 200 primers in Win brass. 3100fps is no problem. If you work towards max load you can reach the Hornady Light Magnum velocities with R22. This is 10gr lighter and about 100 fps than the 7mm Mag 140gr Heavy Magnum Hornady load.

IMR 4350, R19 speeds to IMR 7828 speeds works well for over 3000fps loads in 130gr. 2208(Varget?) would be good for 2900 or so in 140gr.

This is for general Texas hunting: white tail deer, hog, coyote. Best buck was a 10point with good blood trail that dropped the deer dead in about 20yards with a dead center shoulder shot that went through both shoulders. He was about 200 yards out. The SST didn't open up as much as I thought it would. But was very satisfied. Minimal meat damage.
