270WSM..looking for a load?

Dust22-250 · June 4, 2009, 07:04 PM

I have a Sako A7 I am wanting to get a handload made up for it. It has a 22" barrel and a 1-10 twist. I am wanting a long range load. I plan on shotting a Berger bullet. Probably 150 grain for that extra pop downrange and wind bucking. But could shot 130 or 140 grains to if reccommended. Like to get to be a killer out to around 600 yards. or further if possible.

What loads do you guys and gals reccommend? I have heard retumbo is a good powder.

Thanks for any info.

Am I correct in presuming you will have someone load these for you, or do you mean you will be working up the loads yourself???

IMR 4350 and 135grain Sierra Matchkings shoot well in my Sako 85.
