Powder for .270 Encore

[Huntsman]

Hi all, I just picked up a Pro Hunter (28") bbl for my Encore and was wondering if anyone loads for the same bbl. If so, what powder or loads are most ideal. My intentions are to stick with 130gr boolits, Thanks in advance

Used 54 grs IMR4350 and a 130 BT for years - did everything I needed back then. Was a max load in my rifle with a CCI mag primer.

My Encore barrel is the 24". The best load I have found is 54 gr.-IMR 4350 using a Fed 215M Primer and a 130 Nosler Partition.

Yes, it seems that IMR 4350 & 4831 are the powders of choice, this is what a fella from the US says; "140 gr. Sierra boat tail pushed by 55.5 gr. IMR 4831 and 200 CCI primer this is what it does at 100 yards. I was shooting off of sand bags forend nothing but shoulder on back. I think I've found my deer killing load. Don't tell me Thompson can't build a 28" shooter cause I couldn't be happier since I have 200 rounds loaded it was my Winchester model 54 favorite. What do you think is it ok?"
This is his group, 3 shots at 100yds ,

If I can get these results with a 130gr boolit I'll be happy!!

The 130 grain pill ahead of IMR 4350 is the defining load for the .270 Win.
