Thread: 270 loads

Dunno about 150s, but 140s were okay for me. I’d agree with @Ryan Songhurst though, the 140 BT Interlocks are almost as good ballistically but cheaper still and possibly better terminal performance. I don’t shoot enough deer to get a good sample group, tho!

My2C, I've been loading for a couple of 270's (Tikka & Rem 700) for the last 25 yrs using 2213sc & 130gn SST's, poked out of a 22" barrel, 58gns = 2900, 59 gns = 2950 & 60gns = 3000 avg fps.
Easy to get good accuracy, 1/2" moa with bedded action.
Sorry can't comment on the powder you have.
IMO nothing wrong with SST's yes they make a fist sized exit hole in fallow, mostly they drop where they stand, big southland reds out to 400yds the same for the most part & if they do run it isn't far & there is a decent blood trail to follow. Results speak for themselves & i haven't seen the need to change the formula or chase the new age calibres.
I say load the SST's if you have them.
