I built 700LA fast twist 1:8 .270 Win 27" barrel with 0.290 freebore couple years ago and holy cow! The .270 Win is a 65K cartridge that has a "governor" on it until it is allowed to "breathe" with appropriate long action 3.67, fast twist and free bore. I ran a lot of different bullet ladders that all surpassed expectations.
The old saying "H-4831 and the 270 Win go together like apple pie and ice cream" has been true for me over the years. Click to expand... Actually it was IMR-4831 but, regardless, 4831 with a 130gr bullet has been the standard since the. 270 could be reloaded.
It may not be optimal, but I worked up a quick sub-moa load in my 270 win a while back using 130gr Bergers and h4831sc because that's what I had on hand. I get about 3,000 fps with 130gr Bergers, 59.8gr H4831sc, Fed 210M's, and Nosler brass out of an FN Mauser 98 action with a 25" Shilen barrel. That's near max in my rifle in 100 degree weather.
A user shares his experience of loading and shooting the 145 ELD-X bullet in .270 Win with H4831SC powder. He reports good accuracy and velocity, but also some issues with carbon buildup and primer cratering.
I've followed a long range hunter out of New Zealand. His research, has shown the Matrix 165gr hunting bullet stabilizes well in most 1:10 twist 270 Win. I just purchased the 165 Matrix in .277 but haven't worked up any loads yet. The stated B1 BC is .650. Stated twist is 1:9. This guy's website is ballisticstudies.com
I have a Tikka factory superlight SS .270 Win barrel with about 2,000 rounds on it. It's beginning to shoot fliers that impact about an inch away from the rest of the group. I'm wondering if this is the barrel going south or something else.
I reload for my 270 Win, it is a Winchester Mod 70, Pre 64, FEATHERWEIGHT, and my wife shoots it without a problem. My wife is 5 feet, 8 inches, tall, weights 120 pounds, tall and skinny lady, and she handles it perfectly fine. It is a very light rifle, which has a harder recoil than a heavier rifle.
A discussion thread about the pros and cons of different cartridges for long range elk hunting. Users share their opinions, experiences and advice on recoil, accuracy, energy and bullet selection.
I have been shooting 270 Win since 1986-ish. the best powder I ever had for that caliber was AA-3100. I am depressed that Accurate Arms saw fit to eliminate that wonderful powder. I also liked H-1000 until I discovered that H-4350 and H-4831 shot far better and were less picky about the temps and environmentals.
