I have recently acquired my first .270WSM. Been looking at loads for it.
It is pretty interesting how the loads changed between around 2007 and now. Looking through the postings on the web over the years the Alliant Reloader powders appear to have become the most commonly mentioned.
Seems like many are happy with RL22 and Nosler 140 Accubonds. But I have seen some that have tried RL19 and even RL17 with the 140's. Going the other way I read about Retumbo.
So what's the consensus? What load do you have under 140 Grain Accubonds?
I am also surprised that the performance of the 270WSM is just marginally over that of a .270 Win. I had just assumed the velocity would be a good 200 fps over. But I am not seeing that.
