270 WSM

Post by Kdavis »

Does anyone have a recommendations on what these guns like? I know every gun is different and some reach pressure signs sooner than others. I have an R93 with a 270wsm barrel and would like to work up a few loads for it. I have cci 250 primers and federal brass on hand. I plan to load 150g Hornady SST and Speer 130g BTHP. For powders are a few 4350 variants, RL26, and a few others.

Do you chase velocity or ballistic coefficient? I’m using the 110 grain tsx at a very mild 3300 fps, and the results are truly impressive on wild hogs of size. The rifle is a Winchester 1885 with a 28”barrel and the book claims that I can break 3600 fps, but I’ve seen no reason to make the attempt so far.
