[QUOTE="Horse1, post: 2808033, member: 112817"] I too have an over-fondness for the 270 that at times borders on irrational though that angle has mostly already been covered previously in this thread. I have a strong preference towards a 22" bbl. You can get 140's over 3K from a 22" tube and 130's near or at 3100. I find the 22" to just be "handier" and I get plenty out of it. Ramshot Hunter is my preferred powder. It's reasonably inexpensive and is one of the last to be unavailable during a shortage and also one of the 1st to come back. Hunter runs slick through a Dillon powder measure. I get my brass prep done single-stage, then prime/charge/seat on a Dillon 550 in very short order. I load Barnes 130TTSX or 140 TSX. The TSX/Hunter combo works well for me in several Win M70's, a buddy's M70 Extreme Weather, another buddy's Rem 700 Gen 1 Ti, and a 3rd's NULA. If I were buying a new rifle in 270Win right now, I'd probably try to find a Sako S20 closeout, they should come in at or very close to your $1K budget. I just looked, Eurooptic has them for $1199 right now. [/QUOTE]
