I just gathered the stuff to start loading 270 Win for a Semi Auto Rem 7400. I got some Sierra SBT 130g to start with. Which of the powders would you use for hunting. I have only been using Hodgson just cause of there great load data on there webpage but thought about changing to IMR or at least trying it. Alot of people say H4895 is pretty messy compared to IMR. What do ya think?

H4895 41g-44g
IMR4064 43g-47.5g
HVarget 43g-46g

H4895 does not burn with any appreciably greater residue than the IMR version, at least in my experience with the old H4895 manufactured in Scotland, I believe.

The burning range for the powders you mentioned is usually on the fast side for the .270, BUT I have found that autoloaders don't do well with the higher port pressures that slow powders generate. The medium burners may be just the ticket in your gun. I wouldn't go any slower than perhaps 4350 in an autoloader.

A powder you don't have listed...

IMR-4350

I thought IMR4350 might be a little slow burning for a Semi-Auto. Thats why I picked a few faster powders. If I ever get a bolt 270, I was planning on H1000, RE22, or the IMR4350. What do you think? Think 4350 would be ok in an Semi? Thanks for the info.

Bigcountry I've loaded for my dads & one of my brothers model 740 & 742 autoloaders for years. They are both 30-06s and I have found that H414 works very well( both accuracy wise and functioning).Either H4350 or IMR4350 would also work fine.
