Anyone used 2217 in the 270 with success?
I'm exploring other powder options for 140-150gr projectiles as the usual 2213sc/4831 powders are unavailable.
Cheers

Not sure on charge weight but my mate uses it for nosler 150gr ablr in a m77 ruger
Absolutely do it. Win win win. Compared to 2209/2213:Quote:

This across a number of 270's I've loaded for.
That's what I like to hear, will try and get a mate to grab some for me.Quote:

Yup my model 70 winchester loved it, put140gn bergers into 1/4" 3 shot groups at 100 yards just a hair under 3000fps at 62gns
I was thinking of trying this combo for my mates tikka 270. Isn't it a super compressed load? I poured in 63g into a empty case to see what it looked like and there wasn't much room left! Whats the COAL? Thanks
I'll have a look tomorrow night when I get home from work, I'm just heading to bed for the night....early start in the morning :oh noes:Quote:
