270 with 140 accubonds
« on: March 26, 2026, 10:10:07 PM »
Hello, tried another site but have not gotten any replies. Was wondering if anyone has loaded these using IMR 4831sc or W760 powder? I have used IMR 4831. It looks like you can get more speed with these powders. I am shooting an old Ruger M77 with a 22" barrel. Any advice or help would be great. Thanks Tom

That will be a great combination! Wish I could help with data, I just haven't loaded IMR 4831 or w760 & 140 accubonds. We uses RL-19 with the 140 accubond in the 270 win, and we have filled the freezer many, many times with deer, and one big cow elk. We use the recipe for RL-19 right out of the Nosler manual.
I felt like a one legged cat trying to bury a terd on a frozen pond!

When I loaded for .270 win, we shot the 140 accubond with H4350 with really good results.  Also H414, which worked really well.

I don’t want to jack the thread, but since this is kind of a 270 thread. I have around 200 150gr sierra bullets  I would like develop for use in a Ruger M77 tang safety rifle. Just because I already have them. Part of an estate acquisition, not a planned purchase.  It has a 20” pencil barrel Any thoughts out there on the 150 grains vs. 140’s or even 130’s? I’m going to put a Leupold CDS scope on it and don’t really want to use the CDS for a less than optimum round.

150 gr will put you about the same muzzle velocity as a 308
130 gr will put ya at 3000+ .
That's about it.
Of course,what your rifle likes matters.
140 GR is kinda sweet spot for muzzle velocity.
