OK who here has a recepie for a 270Winchester that would be suttable for varmints and things like that? I was thinking a V-Max and I have benchmark and varget at this time.


any suggestions?

try a hornady 110 gr hp in front of a max charge of IMR 4350, always worked well for me.

Many years ago I bought a box of 90 grain Sierras and loaded them with 51 grains of IMR-4320.  The equivalent in Varget would be around 49.5 (max load) which sends them down range about 3300 feet per second.  I exploded a few ground hogs with them years back, but find that my .221 Fireball is cheaper to shoot and does a very good job on groundhogs.  The 90 grain is not fur friendly, but if you want to reach out and let them lay it will work.  If I were looking for long range today I would probably use the 130 grain bullets.

Not intested in fur or meat so damage can go all the way up to maximum carnage. :biggrin: :yoyo:

I would love to own a 221 Fireball in a XP100 but alas that aint happened,...., YET :innocentwhistle:.

For now it's the 22-250rem or the 223rem. So I am wanting to spice up my shooting selection so I figure the 270 can reach out there and touch ya pretty hard. Lets just see what this Howa can do.

 :doh2: I had a nice stainless Ruger 270, and sold it. My reload guy had an awesome concoction for our using it on our padded prey and I never kept that either.
I'll have to ask him if I remember when I see him next.

If this .270 is also your deer rifle, then use the same load you deer hunt with. I done that for a while til I purchased my AR. Opens g-hogs real good.  :eyebrownod:

Another bonus to using your deer cartridge recipe is learning the ballistics of that round. I use my 150 grain bullet loads in my 30-06 for ground hogs and even crows and you definitely learn the drop after a few longer shots. Hold-over / sight picture becomes second nature. A deer's vitals or kill zone is about the same height as the body of a standing crow, so you know if you have to hold over the crow, to hold high on the deer's side for a decent hit.
