Has anyone tried some IMR4350 w/ Hornady 130gr. Interlock SP or the Hornady 130gr. IL SST? I'm going to load both of those up and was wondering what yalls experience w/ those bullets/powder combo is. thanks.

Yup, shoot the interlocks fairly often. With IMR-4350 somewhere between 52 and 54 grains you should find a sweet spot. Start at 52 grains and work up to 54 grains in 1/2 grain increments. The Sierra 130 also works well with these loads.

For the 270 Win I have found Reloader 22 with 130 grain bullets @ 60.0 to be excellent!

I have a Winchester Featherweight 270 that shoots the Hornady Interlocks well but likes the Sierra spire point boattail slightly better. With 53.0gr of IMR-4350 the Sierra 130s it's an honest 1/2". The Hornadys are 5/8 to 3/4", all at 100 yds. Just have to keep the pencil barrel cool.
