towedjumper2.270-300 Win Mag
I am currently waiting with baited breath for the chance to shoot my freshly re barreled Cloward in .270-300. I sent it to PacNor for a 26", supermatch chrome moly, polygonal twist, barrel. I had loads worked up for it but always like input from others. If you were in my shoes where would you start (aside from puttin it all back together, got that part.)

Fish30114Is that a 300 Win Mag necked down to 270?
If that is right, I would look at the 150 grain pills and look at something like VV N-550 maybe--if that's what you were asking about. Powders that work for the 300 WM would be where I would start as a more general answer....for the 150 grain bullets....now a real screamer might be the 130 grain pills...I'd look at the same intel as for 300 and start with loads listed for 125 gr 300 caliber bullets. One thing from experience with wildcats (280AI i.e.) is DEFINITELY START LOW!
Good luck!

CAS IIThat wildcat is going to be pretty darn close to the 270 Wby Mag in case capacity. That seems like the most logical choice for a starting point for load data.
You will probably find @ 5 grains more capacity in your case, so something slightly above a 270 Wby Mag starting load, with a powder on the slower end of the scale would be appropriate.
