Savage model 11 in 270wsm. Reloading info

**Tim Bowlick** · 08-14-2018, 11:10 AM

I have a model 11 in 270wsm and would like to get some information on powder type, bullet weight and overall performance. I've done a little reloading, but don't know which powders work best and what is the optimum bullet weight for this rifle. I have Barnes 130 gr, Berger 140 & 150 gr bullets.

Thanks in advance,

Tim

This should get you to a starting point

Really like the H4831 in my 270 Win shooting the 145 ELD-X... was up around 2900 fps out of a 22" barrel. And anther powder I got good speed as well as accuracy was Ramshot Hunter.

If I'm not mistaken, the OP was asking about a 270 Winchester Short Mag.
The regular .270 is a great cartridge in its own right. It has different likes than a WSM does.

I am aware of the Win WSM difference... Was just throwing it out there as the H4831 was on the list... The Ramshot Hunter is just another "newer" powder that I had pretty good results with... The Hunter actually gave me better speed than the H4831... It's worth a shot or two IMO.

Yes very true.
Those powders work very well in the .270 Win

I'm very heavily thinking about getting the Savage 11 Trophy Hunter XP in the 270 WSM.
I think it's an outstanding long range killer of big game.
Plus, not too shabby at close range either.
