ive heard good things about r-22 powder and the .270.....want to give it a try. anyone shoot this bullet and powder w/ their .270, or have the load data? also, im currently using cci benchrest primers, and am curious if there is a better primer for the loads im wanting to make.

hivelosityits agood choice 140gr sierras or 140gr hornady.
I like the hornady.
53.7grs min to 60grs max.
BR primers should do very well. I use those or 9 1/2 remingtons

Fish30114david, your primer choice is fine, I use about 57 grains of 4831SC behind this bullet, but have several loads with other bullets and RL-22, it is a great powder in the .270. I have found that this bullet is a little temperemental to seating depth, but when I hit that sweet spot--DAMN! Little bitty groups out of a couple different .270's, I've got one Sauer that will sling me into a neat little cloverleaf all day every day--I love it!

Thomas JonesMy .270 does not like RL-22
Neither does my 25,06. Its a great powder in other rounds I have loaded for though.
My .270 likes H4831 and IMR 4350. I might try RL-19 somtime...tj3006
