270 Weatherby Magnum

My .270 Weatherby Accumark started out picky, but did like 130 TSXs and 130
Ballistic tips with 73 and 75 grains of 7828 respectively. Velocity is right at 3500 fps in both cases. After a bit of playing I ended up bedding the action and all of a sudden it decided it liked everything; which didn't hurt my feelings much even though I should got on the bedding a lot sooner.I ended up settling on the 140 Accubond (73 grains of 7828) for decent terminal performance and a BC that is pretty good for a .277. Routinely take it out to 800 yards now.

I have a Win M70 chambered for the 270 WM. Winchester sold these in the late 80's. Mine likes the 130 and 150 gr Hornady Interlock. I've used IMR 7828, RL-22, H 1000 and H 450. The best powder for both is H 450 With max loads I can get appx 3350 ft/sec with the 130's and about 3215 ft/sec with the 150's with sub MOA accuracy. I have a 24" barrel. I've never had any luck accuracy wise with any boat tail bullet.
I have one I got from Echols about 20 years ago. Likes 150 gr Partitions and RL22. - dan

7828 worked well for me.
