Reloading 270wsm with IMR 4064?

[jimmyc]

Looking to build up a load for my Browning A-bolt 270WSM.

Right now I am limited to IMR 4064.

Anyone have any experience with this?

I am using Winchester brass and CCI LRM primers and 130gr. Hornady SSTs.

Should work fine. Maximum load velocity with IMR 4064 will be about 100 fps lower than "traditional powders".

I use varget in a 270 win... slower velocities, just as deadly accurate..

not sure if that goes with the wsm or not but food for thought

A quick hodgdon search lists this if it helps... 2 loads for 130 gr so they might help get you where you want to be.
