No help, sorry, but just curious about your .270 wsm loading? I bought several boxes of factory Federals when I bought my rifle, but I haven't yet been able to load up anything more accurate than them.

A few years ago, maybe 5 years ago Lade aka DA on the tn site helped me with some loads for one of my 270wsm that gun loved factory Winchester SIlvertips, both 130 and 150gr

We played around with seating depths, powders, and loads until that gun with a crappy tuned factory trigger will shoot 1/2" moa and holds tight to 500

I have a Rem 700 with a Jewell, bedded Bell Carlson, Nightforce steel rail and rings, and Viper PST glass. I have played with loads here at 400, 600 and 750

It will shoot .175" off the bench @100. I shot a 3" at 650yds

That gun really likes 140gr Accubonds, over MagPro or RL-22 powder. Usually seating a thousandths of the lands.


I normally have to tweak pet loads for a particular gun's barrel.

All I can say is WOW :!:

I thought my setup was accurate haha
I'm shooting a Tikka T3, all stock except a Limbsaver recoil pad. It'll shoot the Federal 130 grains .355" at 100 yards. Have shot .7" groups at 200 and 1.3" at 300. Only shot steel beyond that. I'm clearly happy with that lol.

Can't recall which powders I've tested, but tried various charges and seating depths with the 140 Accubonds. They shoot well enough for my skill in real world hunting, several sub-moa. Just nothing spectacular.

I am newer to reloading also, so I'm not completely sure my processes aren't holding me back but that's a whole other forum lol
