I would like to develop some 90gr Varmint loads for a 270 Win. It is unlikely I'll have the funds for a new rifle in my near future (at least a year, maybe less if the cards are right, but not holding my breath) so my 270 will have to act as a Varmint rifle for a while.
Looking at the Speer TNT Varmint 90gr (JHP). Any other bullet suggestions would be much appreciated. I have Hodgdon H4350 and IMR 4831 on hand.
I've developed loads for the Horandy 130gr SP using IMR 4831, but Hodgdon's online doesn't show this powder for the 90gr. My Lyman manual has IMR 4831 with a range from 54 to 60+. My Hornady manual does not cover the 90gr pills at all. I saw a couple of threads that showed Hodgdon H4350 as a good powder for this bullet, but didn't want to revive threads that were nearly a year old.
I'd love to find some good loads for H4350 since I have a fair amount left from when I was developing loads for the Hornady 130gr SP.
