Need Berger Load data for 270 Win

[shanesymyrozum]

A buddy just offered me some 150 VLDs to try out in 270 Win. Does anyone have Berger's load data for that weight. I am going to use H4831SC. I know Walt emails out data, but I'm hoping to load tonight.

Thanks, Guys.

Berger's manual is pretty hard to find in Canada. I had to get it from the US.

But I second the notion of emailing them. They were really good about helping me find an American distributor who would ship the manual to Canada, and included a PDF of load data for the VLD bullets I picked up at my (not very L)GS.

I requested data from them and Brian Litz emailed me back with the requested information. If you want to source a copy of the Berger manual, I picked up a copy at my LGS and I believe he has another in the shelf.

I have the Berger manual. I find their load data a little on the conservative side compared to my sierra book.

I don't see how there should be a 2 gr difference in max load for .223 rem. Its about 8% difference. My starting load is normally 10% below max.

I guess it just goes to show that the manual is just a guide, work up a load and look for pressure signs in YOUR rifle.
