270 WCF & 130 Ballistic tips

[Gary in MD]

Keep going up with caution. My 270 shot it’s best at 60.0 grains of H4831sc or RL22 for velocities of +- 3030 fps. I was shooting the 130 grain ballistic tips & 130 grain Sierra.

Another vote for imr 4831 . My old model 70 my dad bought for me shoots them .5 inch.

Velocity was lacking with the 57.0 load just barely made 2800. Loading 58.5 now, will stop when I hit 3k with decent accuracy.

Well double edged sword here, got my 3000 fps velocity but 3 shot group size went from 3/4" up to 1.5".

Now this is a lightweight petite rifle, and somewhat difficult to shoot accurately, so I'm on the fence which load to hunt with. Speed is nice & less drop.... but I'm really doubtful an antelope will notice that extra 200 fps
