270 Win Found My Recipe

How many grains up or down were the other loads and how did they shoot? Reason I'm asking is Imr4350 is a great powder but velocities will change with temperature. I would shoot that good load in different conditions make sure it doesn't fall apart.

That's what I'm thinking. I recently went through the same theming the last couple days. Out of five different charge weights the one in the middle of the range was half inch and the rest were two to almost five inches. So one really good group makes me nervous about that load. My other one was very good throughout all the charge weights most were approximately 1/2" out of 7 different charge weights the two worst were about 1 1/2" spread. So my thoughts are it was very consistent through the ladder test unlike the one the other day where I only
Had one good group and rest were bad.

Wow, in over 50 years of reloading of more than a dozen different calibers, several different powders, several different weights of bullets, and different manufacturer of primers, I have never shot a 5 inch group at 100 yds with a rifle or at 25 yds with a handgun.

The max load is 55grs. I went down 1% from there for 10 steps down to 49.7grs I used excel to do my calculations and rounding. The lower I went the worse it got. IMR4350.

What's your fps/velocity with this load?

I don't have a chronograph yet so I just go off the book. The gun does have a 24" barrel.

So I'm assuming that you're using the coal of 3.300 from the book? Going to load up a few with the 55g imr for my Tikka t3x 270
