Does any have Accurates data for the Nosler 140 gr. accubond and Magpro powder in 270wsm? Just looking for the maximum charge Accurate lists
thanks
 
I have the Nosler load data. Researching on line I have seen loads exceeding Noslers max by as much as 5 grains. This is from sites like reloaders.com and reloadersnest. I am curious to see what Accurates max. is.
 
I see.
Nosler has it's max at 99 % capacity with Win brass and 69.5 gr Magpro. You could work it a little higher than that with higher capacity brass I guess and carefully go up .2 gr at a time watching for pressure signs but 5 gr higher sounds a bit iffy to me. It would take you up around 105% capacity and would depend on whether your bullet will seat properly etc. The nosler max load is supposedly getting 3237 fps from a 24" barrel. Have you tried it? Curious to know what you are getting from that load. Barnes has a max load of 70.5 (same brass), which they say is at 96% cap. and this is with the longer tsx bullet at a shorter C.O.A.L. (2.850 nosler vs. 2.740 barnes), so perhaps Nosler is a bit off. I found this to be the case with some of their data in the past.
 
I emailed Accurate about their recommendations with Magpro and they came back with starting Quite a difference.

Wow! interesting that the velocity on the max loads is only 40 fps faster. What barrel length did they have for that load?
 
I edited my post with the the powder charges Accurate sent me. They got back to me today and said he made a mistake. Their data should have read
65.6 gr. @2850'/sec to 72.9 gr. @3171'/sec 64,137 psi max. 2.850 coal
