270 wsm pet loads

I bought a Tikka T-3 in 270 WSM just after the cartridge became available back in about 2003 or 2004. I worked up a load using Reloader 19 powder, Barnes 130gr TSX bullets, and CCI 250 primers. The velocity is in the 3250 - 3275 fps range, and is nice shooting out of my rifle.

I usually hunt southern Alberta for mulies, whitetails, and elk, this is a pretty good combo for my use, where the range can be fairly long sometimes.
That is one nice little load for that gun. With a recoil pad and that load, that T-3 is a perfect ladies gun.

What do you think of that load for antelope?

I've never used it on antelope, and while certainly more gun than needed, I don't see why it wouldn't work well.
 
Started load development and starting load …beautiful group …but velocity is very low…..worked up to 2960 fps….remember I’m using a semi …benelli r1 so now the work begins ..pressure signs etc etc etc ….primers….etc etc
