270 Weatherby Velocity?

[Maxx]

Does anyone have experience with this caliber? What is the real world velocity with 140 or 150's?

thanks

3300 with 140's and 3200 with 150's is doable.

sounds like a 7mm Rem Mag......

My 26" No.1 would do 3400+ with 130s and 3200 with 150s. With good case life.

 

[Why not?]

Mine has an ancient 24 inch Douglas Premium Air-Gauged barrel, gets 3200 fps, and cases last 8-10 reloads.

Had a Model 70 pre 64 rechambered to 270 Wby, 24" bbl 3430 - 3460 safely with a 130, using RL22 another sleeper powder for the Wby not mentioned in most manuals is H380 which would averaged 3320 fps, both were much lower pressures than 7828 which I never did get satisfactory velocities with.

 

[Why not?]

Mine gets 3500+ with 130s and H450. Have only a bit of that powder left, so have worked a bit with Re22. It gives almost the same velocity as the H450 does with all bullet weights.

24" barrel = 3300fps with 140gr Barnes TSX

Sure, but it showed up 19 years before the Rem Mag. That's got to be worth something.

I doubt that it means anything at all to any animal that you shoot with either one.

It mattered for 20 years. You really should do a urine test on your breakfast cereal.

I didn't realize that you were that old!

The simple truth is that a cartridges history does nothing to improve it's ballistics or make it kill game any quicker.

I didn't say it did. Rembo said it sounded like a 7 Rem Mag. I said that it came 20 years later. To me that means that the Rem Mag sounds like a .270 Weatherby a generation late. To you, that sounds like a oppurtunity to be a prick.
Have a nice life.

Actually you also posted"That's got to be worth something. "
and I pointed out that simply being first by 20 years didn't make it superior in any way.Then of course you became defensive,and replied with the insults.

Should have done that a long time ago. Adios.
