90 grain for .270
« on: January 09, 2011, 01:35:16 AM »
I picked up a box of 90 grain TNT for my .270 yesterday.

I only have 2 powders H4350 and Varget

Any experience with either or both? Another suggestion?

I ued to load the Sierra 90 gr HP for a Ruger M77 chambered in 270Win. Best I can remember I used IMR-4350 powder.
The gun shot these bullets really well and they were a bomb on groundhogs!

GOOD SHOOTING!

I need to go back and check, I was using the IMR4350 and switched to H4350 with a 130 grain and either added or subtracted a few grains and the results were the same.

I am hoping to practice shooting paper at  100 yards offhand.  I want to be sure I develop an accurate load so I can blame only the person pulling the trigger

I'm using a max load of IMR4350 under that 90 gr pill. At 300 yds, a jack rabbit literally explodes. But be careful, I'm not sure these will go thru a spider web and not explode. Accuracy was fabulous outa my old Remington Model 700 ADL.

The Sierra 90 gr HP with H380 was the most accurate load in my 270.
