Berger 130 VLD load for a Sako 75 .270 Hunter Stainless

Can anyone suggest a great load for these bergers ( 130 gn VLD for .270 sako 75 hunter) and any other tips would be really appreciated. I use aussie powders like ADI and I can get alliant reloader as well. But will order anything if its the right one.
Thanks in advance
Clint.
 
I use R22 with 130gr Hornady SST and Nosler Ballistic Tip. Try 55gr to 58gr in .5gr increments. 3100fps is pretty easy with R22. Although I haven't tried it, R19 should get you there as well. I went with R22 since I do 7mm Mag (120gr to 162gr) as well.

CCI LR primers work in Winchester brass just fine. I never knew the 270 was longer COL than 7mm Mag until I started loading them. But I stretch them out in the mauser style Husqvarna action hunting rifle to magazine length.

This isn't exactly what you asked about but hopefully it may give you some useful information.
 
Thanks guys for all your advice. I tried the reloader and it was great. I found a sweet spot with adi2209 around 3050fps. Bergers were seated just as to fit into the mag which I think was about 10-20 thou off the lands which seems ideal. Groups at 260 yds were under 2 inches. The JBM ballistics page has given me really accurate ballistic info and was accurate out to 700 yds (tested) I thought Id have to have a specially cut chamber etc for this distance but the sako with factory specs is doing just fine. Its been a real learning curve but rewarding.
