[Blanco]

My 270 shoots a ragged hole. with 140 Game Changers and Hodgdon Hybrid

I have shot IMR 4350 and H4831 for many years. Recently at the recommendation from another member, I tried IMR 7828, glory bee....where have I been? Speed with the extremes in accuracy!

I have a family member looking for a good powder for his .270. What is a good powder some of you guys are using with a 130 grain bullet.

i am starting with130NBt and H4831SC
i can't imagine having to go any farther.
just loaded 57,58gr and waiting for the wind to get below gale force to shoot them.

I think it was 4831 that Jack O'Conner swore by, but that was a different time and different powder. One of his biographers told me he actually shot more game with a 30-06. He had a 30-06 and 270 that were twin Mod. 70's, very nice rifles.

IMR 4955 is a great alterative

 

[dryhumor]

4064 works also

I've tried a lot of powders as I have a finicky Mauser sporter in .270 WIN. For me at least, the best powders are 4350, Winchester 760 and Reloder 19 depending on bullet weight.

H4831sc was best at 55gr for the 270 boat paddle i am loading for now
coal 3.320" as load data states

I shot 130’s for years, because that is what I was told to use…….took me 20+ years to change.
150’s and a dose of R26. Now it does over and above what they tried to tell me it was years ago.

Staball. 55grains with 135 SMK

my uncle swears by the 150gr also! they switched from 130gr and never looked back

this is my bro in law i am setting up and he wants 130 ‍s

 

[Rem06]

i always figured that it was a .270 wanting to be a .30-06 as most of the meat getters carried the '06 .
wink wink

RL26 seems to give more velocity than the others.

Accurately for the distances you plan on encountering?

 

[DGP4]

4350 is what works for me with RL19 doing a close second. Heavier bullets up to 150 like the RL19 better.

Yes. It does very well.
Google "site:24hourcampfire.com rl26 270" for lots of opinions/information/experience.

 

[kenacp]

Have been using IMR 4350 for over 40years. No reason to change.

Interesting. What bullet weight?

 

[pertnear]

Just IMHO....

With 130 gr bullets, try 4831. If your rifle doesn't shoot good groups with it, get your rifle worked on or get rid of it.
