Hello all , I just won a Savage Axis 270 win from the LGS a few months ago and
now dug out the Lee 3 hole press i got from my dad and getting into reloading for
rifle. A friend loaned me his die sit and hand me some brass and bullets so this is
what i have here

1 box of 100 Hornady 270 win 140gr SST with interlock

1 LB of H4831sc

box of winchester primers and 2 boxes of CCI 200

So off I go researching and reading for the last 3 days.
reading about working up a load and all that and also
reading about what the bullet does to game Deer / Elk / Hogs

Ok , now i really don't need sub MOA groups, just a good load for the SST's
that wont blow baseball size holes thru the game.

watching some vids on youtube on long range shooting by TiborasaurusRex
where he is saying for example a HPBT at close range will rip apart your target like it
should but at long range because of speed dropping it will act as a FMJ

So should i just load for min speed 2600 fps or 2700, 2800 ,2900 ... 3000 is max per
the book The Complete Reloading Manual for the .270 Winchester ... Loadbooks USA.

If funds were better i would just do a load work up and by a few dozen watermellons
and do some testing but would like to get some other input too ..

thanks
