For the 270 win start with 43 gr Varget and work up. I would expect them to max out near 47.5/48. Should give you a nice clean burning accurate as all get out load somewhere near 46.5/47.

I don't shoot WSMs sorry.

OLbiker,
7828 in the WSM. I have not seen a 270WSM that didn't like the combo..

From my limited experience with solid brass/copper bullets I wind up with nearly the same loads as I would using standard cup and core bullets.....but I repeat....limited experience!

Start 8% under cup and core bullet data and work up....chances are you'll be right with the standard data in the end....

btw....the 8% number is from advice I got from Northfork.

The best bet would be to pick up the latest Barnes manual, the number 4. There is data for both cartridges using the 110 grain bullets in there.

I do not shoot a 270 Winchester, but I recently started shooting the tipped version of the 110 grain Barnes TSX and am very impressed with them in my 270 WSM.

For the 270 WSM Barnes lists a starting load of 63 grains of IMR 4350 with the 110 grain TSX BT.
They list a maximum load of 67.5 grains of IMR 4350 for a velocity of 3552 fps.

I carefully worked up and found the max load of 67.5 grains was indeed safe in my rifle. However, my groups were best at 67 grains. I shot groups as small as 0.323 inches! With a load of 67 grains of IMR 4350 my Model 70 Winchester gives me 3585 fps.

I have only shot a few coyotes with it so far. But man, does it hammer them. I shot one last weekend at about 200 yards and I do not think he even kicked. Dead Right There!

I hope to get to try it on deer or antelope next year.
