are there other majic powders for .270win (h4831)

[trigger45]

wAs seeing every caliber under the sun for 6 pages except .270win. so here is a .270 thread. Is there a better powder for .270win than h4831(sc)? heard of using h4350 or h414 but have no experience in this.

I've never been a fan of 4831. For 270, I usually get out the IMR4350 but the IMR4064 and 760 also works good.

4831 is usually a bit on the slow side for .270 Win.

There are no 'magic' powders for any cartridge. Any more than a 'magic' bullet weight. Every rifle is different.

I like h-414. It seems to work well for me.

 

[jamaica]

No! 4831 is the powder for 270.

Those faster burning powders seemed to go into over pressure way before approaching the published maximums when I was working up a load for my 270.

.270?

I have used H4831 in my .270 Savage 110 for years, and in my opinion, it is hard to beat. With a load of 60 grains of H4831sc, behind a 130 grain Speer BTSP, I get about 3100 FPS, and a half inch MOA @ 100 yards. Jack O'Connor, according to some reports, used 62 grains of H4831 to push a 130 grain bullet, but I have been unable to find any loading manuals with this information, and I certainly am not advocating loading higher than any maximum loads posted in manuals! Most of the manuals I have seen list 60 grains as the MAX for a 130 grain bullet, with some listing lower maximums! As with ANY loads, these max loads should be worked up to with caution!

me too

thats my usual load for rem soft points and hornady sst. inch groups all the time.
