| I finished a custom rifle, McMillan stock, 27" Christensen/Krieger barrel, M70 CRF action that thrives on 140gr AccuBond, Fed 210M, and 66gr of Reloder 22 resulting in 3,312fps, 9fps SD and aggregate average so far of .435" 5/100 with a 2.5X8 VXIII. I am getting to like the 270WSM!!

| Winchester Super Shadow .270WSM 24" barrel Nosler 140 gr Accubond, 65.0 gr Vihtavuori N-165, Federal 210 primer, not sure about the velocity, but shoots well under an inch for 3 shots at 100 yards from a benchrest. Hope to chronograph them sometime this week. |

| You may want to try IMR 4831(62 grs) win primer(wlrm) and the 135.HPBT.This shoots great in my browning. |

| Ironworker, try something for me to see if the flyers go away. Try seating another .001" to .002" off the lands and see if this does it. I have seen this help when getting flyers just as you describe, let me know, Tim. BTW, after reading your post, I have loaded up the same round with your load to try. You didn`t mention seating depth for the earlier post, and I am trying .015" off the lands. |

| I don't know if anyone else has tried the lightweight bullets in their .270wsm, but I have loaded up some Sierra and Speer 90 gr hollowpoints with varget, IMR-4895 and Reloder 19 to see what they do. My first efforts with Varget weren't too bad, around inch and a quarter for 5 shot groups at 100 yards. Not bad for a stubby Sierra 90 gr hollow point from a cheap Super Shadow from walmart. Anyone else try any?
Bullets are pretty worthless. All they do is hang around waiting to get loaded.

| Just the stuff I was looking for guys. thanks alot! I had my T3 in 270WSM out for its very first session today and despite the horrible windy, foggy, and rainy conditions, the 4 loads I tested shot decent with nothing getting over 1.5". The two powders I tried were IMR 4350 and Rl 19 and the bullet was a 140 gr. Nosler BT. It seemed to like 60.5 of IMR 4350 the best but I'm far from done experimenting with this bullet. If I can get the results you guys are getting with the 140 gr. Accubond, and I'm pretty sure I will with this rifle, that will be my hunting load for almost everything up here in B.C.
