270win quickload question

Hey guys, trying to work up a new load for my 270win for deer season. Wanting to try something different so I picked up at pound of RL-22 and some Barnes 130gr TTSX. I wasn't able to find a load online or in the Barnes manual for the combination. Neither manufacturer had any data. Barnes actually said to use the RL-19 data and add a grain to it. That kind of off the cuff answer doesn't set too well with me. Would someone be willing to run the quickload data for me?

I'm shooting a Browning A-bolt with a 20" barrel.
Load OAL is 3.273" (50tho off lands)
Win. Cases
CCI LR primers

Thanks!
Chris
 
270 win ( SAAMI) Barnes # 27775 , 3.273 COAL , 20" bbl ,

RL22 - 60.0 grains max , 3076FPS , 110.6% case fill . Jim
 
That load of 60.0grs of RL-22 has been pretty accurate in my 270win using 130 Sierras and 130 Ballistic tips.

I shot 60 grs. of RL22 in my 270 for years, just be aware that you may or may not be able to fit it in the case with a Barnes TTSX because the bullet is long and seating so far off the lands. Probably can but just be aware of the possibility. Also, I have found with almost all of the rifles that I shoot TTSX in, about .060" off seems to be about the sweet spot for them. They can like a lot of jump. I have a Ruger 77 SS, with factory sights that I picked up years ago because I wanted a rifle with sights to back up my scope when I was on backpack hunts. That rifle was always about a 3/4"-1" rifle with everything I tired. RL22, behind a 168 gr. TTSX, .060 off is a 3 shot one hole rifle now. Incredible performance and accuracy. My last elk didnt go 20 feet before dropping, and he was running already when hit. Same thing with my A-bolts in 25-06 and 7 mag. .060 and shooting one hole....Just a deadly bullet the TTSX, even when you don't hit bone. By the way, RL22 in both the 25-06 and 7 mag also. Dave
