.270 with varmint bullets

[TravisC]

I bought a cdl sf .270 winchester and plan to use it for long range coyotes. I have 90 sierras and 110 vmaxes. I have a full page of load data but I want to hear what you guys run as far as powder. Haven't shot yet but I plan on pre-loading so any help will but used. Thanks

I shot many yotes and chucks with the 90g Sierra Hp.

I used from 57-59g of AA2700 with a fed 210 or a Rem 9 1/2 and the velocity was in the 3550 range with the bullets touching at 100 yards. I did have a muzzle break on my 24" SS barrel.

My brother uses 3031 in his Rem 700, but I can not recall the charge with his amazing accuracy, also.

Good luck!

I've loaded the 90g Sierra and 110g V-max for a friends sporter barrel Rem. 700. I don't have the info in front of me but 110g with H380 shot average....around MOA.

The 90g Sierra shot extremely well with virtually no load work up. IIRC, the load was at or near max charge of IMR 4350.

I really like the 4831sc in my 270 though it was behind a 130 grain bullet.

Jon-K...

I shot feral dogs in Pennsylvania with a 270 and 90gr Sierra hollow points, and they would cut a 35# dog nearly in half!,Yuck!)

For longer range, the V-Maxs have much better Ballistic numbers, and will shoot flatter and hit harder.

270 with 90g hp is unreal destructive on coyotes, same as a 257 Weatherby with 100g Ballistic tips at 3800
A hot load of IMR 3031 will have you shooting bug holes in a Rem sporter.
