I never was able to get the bolt action 223 I wanted, so I'm going to shoot potguts with my .270. I have Speer 100 grain HP's that will do a nice job. I know this is overkill, but it's what I have available.
What would your powder choice be for this bullet? Keeping in mind that I will be shooting quite a few rounds and I need to keep the barrel from overheating. So are there powders that don't heat the barrel as much as others? To me this hardly seems possible.
I have IMR 3031, 4064, 4350 and 4895 on-hand. I also have RL 16, but I'll buy a different powder if need be.
I know I once read that Varget heats barrels quicker than some.
Thoughts?
