Helping my brother out with reloading for his 270 win . Have been told that 2213sc is the best powder option for 130-150 projectiles. Advice would be appreciated.

i'm just wanting some info on loads for general all around use . goats, pigs , chital/rusa deer. i know the 130gn load is standard in the 270, but bullet blow up on the occasional large pig i'm thinking 140 sst's or nosler bt's might be more practicle as a do-all load . any opinions or experience fellas
also are magnum primers of any advantage ?

130gr projectiles will handle pretty much everything you listed there, and a pig or goat certainly isn't going to know the difference between 130gr and 140gr bullets as long as you put said bullet where it needs to be.

I use AR2209 in my 270.
I chose to use 130gr Prohunter projectiles. (See below pic) (My load data is on this pic for my rifle and me, please work up loads in your rifle and NOT use my load data as this may be dangerous in your rifle configuration)
I found the Hornady SST to be a little too soft (The SST projectiles I used, exploded at close ranges, that is; within 100 meters on game). I found the SST to be quite accurate on paper.
I have tried several other projectiles, but I realised, ALL of my hunting is done with-in 200 meters, so I just need a projectile that would work for me.
Depending on what YOU will be targeting and at what RANGE you intend to target this game, may depend on the type of projectile you use.
Good luck.

thanks for your reply ,yeah , 130's are the standard load for 270 regarding deer . i'm trying to use my 270 as a all round rifle with one load. my concern with 130's is with regards to penetration on the occasional large pig. have you used your load on large "hogs".
talking to my gunsmith he spoke to a fella ,and a taxidermist, who confirmed a 175kg boar shot in western NSW a few weeks ago . i dunno if 130's would cut it on large pigs like that with a less than perfect shot . even with 140's maybe i'm just expecting too much of the 270 :unknown:
