OT 270 win CA pet load.

[Nocalhonker]

Anyone here reload 270 win with a nontox bullet for Ca if so what recipe are you running. I just picked up an older early 90’s Remington 700 bdl 270 and want to set it up for Ca deer and pigs. Also has anyone built a light weight mountain gun, at some point I might put a carbon fiber wrapped barrel and a light weight stock on it. I’m not looking for the $$ options but rather the good solid hunting options.

I haven't found the right loads for my 7mm,or my 300 win mag, i have loads that work for them,But i agree with on the Hornady outfitter my 243 loves them..

Yea from stuff I’ve read it seems copper bullets like faster twists 1in 9” and most old guns run a slower twist 1in 10” or slower.

Reasoning behind that is the copper bullets are longer than lead and the slower twist guns can't stabilize em. I had luck with the federal blue box copper for factory, 130 grain. I know a lot of guys load 120 or 110 for their 270s because the length is similar to a 130 lead bullet

That’s good to know

130 gr Nosler E-tip, 57 grains of H4831SC out of my Rem 700 is an absolute tack driver. Tried Barnes and Hornady's. The rifle likes the E-tip. Same with my .300 WSM. When I pull the trigger, things fall down.

Call Steve at Hammer bullets- sure he can help you out with reloading info or who loads those bullets. Pretty deadly and non lead. I switched from Barnes and a big improvement
