I usually find loads for a new round by myself, but Im wondering if anyone is shooting this combo? Wonder if the 270 shoots Retumbo like the 7WSM does, hmmmmm?

Oh, it's for a Tikka?
 
Was going through my inventory of powder and I have surplus of RE17, so I'll probably use that powder, and after all it was designed for short magnum cases, Ive also got RE19, 22, Retumbo & 4000MR, all which Im sure would work, too.
 
I've always loaded 140's in mine but my best results came from RL19, H4350, and H4831 SC in that order for accuracy in the Nosler AB and BT's. I will warn that the BT's get to making hamburger in Deer sized animals real easy at the speed the 270 WSM pushes them. I personally prefer the AB's for hunting purposes in this round. But they are expensive bullets to be launching at paper or steel.
