.270 WSM loads

What load would you recommend for a 140gr bullet. I would like someting for hunting moose this fall. I have a synthetic vanguard with a 24" barrel with a 1 in 10 twist.

Currently with my .270wsm Tikka T3 I am getting outstanding accuracy with Barnes 140gr TSX, Federal 215 primers over 64.2gr of RL22. Averaging under 3 shots .75 MOA with no pressure signs. Seating depth for me is just a hair past the last pressure groove, but that will be rifle dependent obviously.

I am loading a 140gr Hornady SST with 60.0 Grains of IMR 4831. It consistantly shoots a 1" five shot group (honest group) at 100 yards. That is shooting out of a savage. my C.O.L is 2.820" I know most manuals call for 2.860" but that is too long for this model of savage. I did not play with this load much. I don't beleive this gun will shoot much better than that and 1" is more than accurate enough for hunting.

Get some R22 or R25, and then work up load per standard procedures. I also hear Retumbo works pretty well.

You have to work up the load for your rifle. No two rifles will shoot the same ammo the same way.

When I still had mine I was a fan of the 140gr Accubond.
