looking for 270 weatherby mag loads
« on: April 11, 2006, 08:15:37 AM »
Using a 24" bbl. and a howa action. looking especially for loads using retumbo powder, but any will help. I'd like to use a 130 gr bullet. make sure to let me know if your load is max! I have lees 2nd edition of modern reloading, so exclude any of those. Thanks in advance! :D

The Nosler manual has quite a bit of data for the 270 Weatherby.

ricciadrdelli beat me out.  I was going to recommend his site.

There is a lot of data for the 270 Weatherby but I could not find any using Retumbo.  Have fun with it.

I am surprised that Hodgdon is not showing any loads for the round with Retumbo.  

At one time I called Lyman regarding data on a new powder.  They told me that it maybe add to their next loading manual.  By the time the next manual was released the manufacture stop selling the powder I was interested in.
