After selling my first rifle a few yrs ago also a 270 I bought another 270 to replace it.It was the last mod 70 crf they had in the store and cost about 675 USD.I just gave her an oiling and will name her BLACK BEAUTY.I think it is the black shadow model,I'll have to check and see.I was wondering if anyone here had one or any 270wsm and can share some knowledge.What did you find best about this calibre?I look forward to reloading and hunting with my new friend!

I was lucky enough last year to win a Model 70 Winchester chambered in 270 WSM. It is the stainless steel model with the camo stock. I really like the rifle and the cartridge.

I tried a number of combinations in this rifle and all shot pretty well. However I have settled on two loads for this gun.

One that I have not shot anything with yet is a load that I think will be great on coyotes. It is a Winchester case, a Fed 215M primer, 73 grains of H 4831, and a 90 grain Sierra HP. My buddies and I have tested this load in three Model 70 Winchesters and they all give half inch groups and nearly 3700 fps.

My big game load is as follows: Winchester case, Fed 215M primer, 66 grains of RL 22, and a Nosler 140 grain Partition. This load shoots nearly 3200 fps and consistantly will group under an inch in my rifle. I shot a wild hog, a black bear, and a mule deer with this load this past year and they all dropped in their tracks, never took another step.

I think you will enjoy the rifle and the cartridge, I sure do.

Thanks R Flowers,H 4831 and reloader 22 are two powders that have gotten good feedback with the 270wsm.

I just bedded the stock with the BEDROCK glass bedding kit.I think that is the cheapest stock I've ever seen.

hey guys, congrats on your new 270WSM winchester''s i personally don''t own one but have had the pleasure of reloading for 1 in a browning 1885 hi-wall single shot,a good friend wanted someting different and unique in a rifle cartrige, so from what i heard from another friend that had a browning a-bolt and then a Tikka both 270wsm''s bolt rifles, i told him to get a 270wsm,first he wanted it in a encore no soap they don''t make it, so then he came up with the 1885 i said fine get it and i''ll reload some shells for you, he got that 1885 and the rear grip was cracked so he sent it in and they put a new one on and we were back on track, she comes with a 28 inch barrel octogone darn pretty, loaded up some 130 speer bts with magpro powder, it showed promise rite off the bat ,took 28 rounds to break in the barrel, and my friend had an up comming mule deer antelope combo hunt , in less then a mounth, he had a burris 4x16x44 select scope with the hold over dotes in it ,we went to the range with him and a few friends and cousins and shot that wsm from 100 yds 2 625 yds it was truey ausome to watch that rifle preform, sorry so longgggg,on his hunt he shoot one dandy 3 point mulie at 300 yards,two female antelope two coyotes, all one shot kills, his older brother a a vet-reloader was Very impressed with that caliber shooter and rifle and he''s seen them all and shot them all!!!, then he came home to wis. and shot a dandy 10 pointer at 275 yrds and 3 does various yards, another friend has a win mod 70 ss wsm 270 that dotes on barne 150 tripple shocks that reload put a trouphy 54 inch ontario bull on this nose at 200 yards running, the bullet broke the front shoulder passed threw the chest and broke the off side shoulder also and is probally still flying over the canadian bush,one last word try imr 4350 with any 130 grain bullet,promise you''ll like it...i''m impressed am i not? regards jjmp

Hi, I have a 270WSM Winchester Coyote, It shoots 5 into about .6. 110 Hornady Vmax

x-rings do you have any 130 or 140gr loads? Have you tried for long range accuracy? Given the shape of the cartridge,how does it feed?

I have one in a Mod. 70 Featherweight classic S.S. and love it. It was a gift from my father so it makes it extra special. I was not able to work up a load prior to this recent hunting season so I used the Winchester factory 150 Powerpoint loads. Four shots four dead animals.
The factory loads did have a sticky bolt lift. I am currently working up loads with 130 grain bullets and have tried both IMR 4831 and H 4831 sc as that is what I had on hand. Both powders seem to show promise. So far it looks like a very easy round to handload or I'm just lucky and my rifle is not to picky. My rifle did benefit from adjusting the trigger down to around 3-1/2 lbs. I think you will find you like the round and the rifle once you get her tuned up.

Thanks Mohawk,when I get my dies and scope for it I'll try to find a nice load.
