.270 win?

vbk1969 · July 7, 2009, 09:11 PM

Just wondering if anyone has loaded 270 win. using h4831 with 130gr nosler accubond bullets. I am getting ready to load my first loads for my remington 700 in 270 win. I have neck sized some once fired brass and trimmed to length with lee trimmer. Champfered and deburred the cased. Will start with the starting load in my lyman mannual at 52.0 gr. I guess my question is would this be a good load for whitetail? Also have never used the nosler bullets. do they have good expantion?

Thanks Brent

Used the powder, but the bullet was 130 grn Nosler ballistic tip, one of the most accurate loads I have shot in any gun.

The Hodgdon on line resources lists two bullets with slightly different loadings with H4831:

Barnes TSX 130 start 54 gr and max at 60 gr Max

Hornady SP 130 start 56 gr and max at 60 gr Max

Generally loads are "worked up" by loading 5 each of a given weight of powder going from min to max, shooting identical loads at only one taget; or by "The Ladder Method" by loading one each at increasing weights from min to max. I prefer the first method. If your loading manual does not cover this, come back for more information. Both methods generally use a 0.5 grain increment.

Shooting only one load, and a very minimum load at that, will tell you very little, and probably will not have good accuracy. Both IMR and H 4831 usually produce the most accurate loads closer to max. As you shoot those cartridges which are closer to the max, you watch carefully for pressure signs.

I did 130gr Nosler Ballistic Tips and Hornady 130gr SST in 270 with 58gr of R22 and CCI 250 (LRM) primer. 3100fps or so out of a Husqvarna 24in M98 Sporter. Killed a 10pt with shoulder shot.

60gr was max in the load data.

The bullet certainly will be, but work up the load to get the best accuracy. Load for the bullet weight. Who made it doesn't matter.
