270 Win and RL 22???
I shot a group today with the 140 gr Hornady BTSP. I used the Winchester LR Primers, REM brass and 58gr of RL22...

COAL was 3.250" Load was in the .3's! This was shot from a 26" barrel Ruger #1. I will find out the exact velocity next week with my chrono.

Anyone venture to guess velocity?

Maybe 3000fps, I use 58.5gr of RL-22 with a 150gr Nosler, get 3000fps from my 24" barrel, it shoot's under 1/2 moa.

Good to hear something worked for you POP. That is an excellent load. I tried it with 150 grain bullets and was not able to load it as hot as you did, but accuracy was good.

Does RL22 vary from lot to lot as much as I hear that RL 19 does?

I have seen a grain variation and some say as much as 2 from lot to lot.

Pop, 60grs of RL-22 and a 140gr Nosler Accubond gives me ave velocity of 3063fps in a 24" Beretta Mato. 61grs of RL-22 and a 130gr Barnes XLC gives about the same velocity in a 20" Sako Finnlite. Both loads are MAX, and should be aproached with care........DJ

I meant Rel 22, since we were talking about Rel 22 in the 270.
Sorry for the confusion.
