I'm getting ready to load some 270 winchester rounds for a buddy of mine. Wanting to load sierra 130gr sbt. Just wanted to find out if anybody had any PET lOADS you'd share. Thanks
 
A case full of H4831 is a long time standard. Look in a reliable loading manual for the starting load and work up, but H4831 is THE old timers powder with the 130 gr. in the .270 Winchester. It is a recipe that flat out works.
 
A near book max load of H-4831 is a favorite in many of my .270 Winchester rifles over the years with 130, 135, 140, 150 and 160 grain bullets alike.

Me too, 59.5 H4831 130 sierra Game Kings or Pro Hunters. I have not used the H4831sc but it is said to load the same as the original.

R22, and a 150 grs bullet in boat tail or round nose if you can find them
best load I ever used
 
H4831 and 130gr Gamekings go together like peas and carrots.

That combo has proved very accurate and effective.
 
58.0-60.0 grs of H4831 and a 130 grain bullet has shot well in every 270 Win. I've ever loaded for. And that probably runs upwards of 10 or so counting sons and nephews. Also,H4831sc seems to work about identical to the original cut. YMMV
 
H4831, yet again, is a great powder for the 270. RE22 is excellent, also,

Using Barnes 130gr TSX, I average 3150fps with H4831SC, and 3200fps with RE22, but I got horizontal stringing with RE22.Accuracy with the Barnes and H4831SC is sub-moa.
 
H4831SC with 140 grain BT spitzers here. Great load in my rifle. As stated above start low and work up to max load. At just under the max load I was getting a standard deviation of 7.

Good luck

Just wanted to Say thanks for all the information to everyone. It's pretty nice to be able talk to guys that's already been there and done that.
Thanks
 
Don't overlook H-4350 & 130 gr Sierra GameKings. It shoots 1/2" groups in my Model 70...if I do my job.

And it's an Extreme powder.
