apache12 Report post Posted May 25, 2015 I have a buddy who says I can use his reloaded to work up some loads for my 270 I was wondering if anyone has a recipe they would share. I didn't know if that was the sort of thing that people share or not? I have a weatherby vanguard 24 inch barrel. Looking for 130 grain and would use a bullet for mule or coues. I usually zero to at 200. I wouldn't shoot past 500 yards Thx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CouesWhitetail Report post Posted May 26, 2015 130 hornady boat tail spire point or SST 55.5 gr H4350 I found the BTSP bullet super accurate and the SST less so, but wow the knock-down power of the SST is truly impressive. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
apache12 Report post Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks for all the help. I certainly have some fun ahead of me One more question Should I shoot five then drag a snake through and let rifle totally cool and shoot five more of different load My 270 seems to walk a bit as it gets warm. Even with bedded action and floated barrel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted May 27, 2015 Ladder test once you figure out what projectile and powder combo you want to shoot. Shoot slow enough your barrel does not heat up. Sounds like you have a light contour barrel if it starts walking at 5 rounds. Load one of each charge weight from low to 2 grains above max in .5 grain increments. Go to 400 yards and shoot at the same point of aim. You will have 2 nodes (group of 2 to 3 that group together vertically), one low and one high. Stop as soon as you see any signs of pressure. That could be a middle load to above max, only your gun can tell what is too hot for it. Then take those two nodes and start .2 grains below and go in .2 grain increments to .2 grains above. Load 3-5 each and go shoot at 100 yards for groups. Best group is your load. Then play with seating depth to really fine tune. 400 yard ladder test should look something like this. Shots 1-3 (40.5, 41.0, 41.5 grains) are the low node, shots 6-8 (43.0, 43.5, 44.0 grains) are the high node. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted May 27, 2015 I shoot 3 and let it cool on sporter barrel but on a heavier barrel 5 is good. Mine walks a bit as well after 4 rounds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
