Reloading 30-06 and .270

[gadwall]

I like H4831 or H4831sc for all my cals 25 and bigger. It has been a great powder for me.

I have had the best luck with H4831 as well.  The accubond bullet is a great place to start.  I like 165's in the 06 and 140's in the 270.  As many on here have said, get yourself some up to date references and manuals and be patient with the process.  Good luck, and let's see some targets when you get the accuracy you're looking for.

ive finally decided on that my first "batch" will consist of. ill be using Nosler Hunting Ballistic Tipped 130 Grain bullets and 54.5 Grains of H4831. going to pick up some primers sometime this week, continue reading up and getting to know all the equipment and hopefully start this up comming weekend! thanks for all the help guys, the "one book/one caliber" pamphlet was really helpful. i plan on getting the newest of the nosler and hornady books as my grandfaters are a bit outdated. again thanks and happy shooting!

What rifle and how many rounds down the barrel?
  I'm assuming that you've chosen the 270 to reload first?

For the -06 I use H4350 and 165's,  Four guns have loved this combo with the same grains of powder, I think my load is almost a compressed load.  I have not shot the longer no lead bullets, I have used ballistic tips, sierras, and 168 hp.

I have a couple of books but I really like the individual caliber pamphlets that are published and available for the re-loader. They seem of offer a larger variety of loading options with nearly all manufactures of powder, bullets, brass and primers.
I started buying these because I try to stay in a narrow but popular (easy to find on the ground if the *censored*e hit the fan kind of theory) caliber for all weapons. That way I can have a lot of ammo for very few calibers.

Don't get me wrong here a good reloading book is necessary but these little pamphlets are a world of knowledge for a person that wants to see what other companies offer with their powders, bullets etc. They are much cheaper than a manual for each bullet/powder company.

Exactly the same as what I do.  The books are called something like "One Book / One Caliber" and they are great IMO.  They have info from several different sources for that particular cartridge that you're reloading for.  You don't have to buy a bunch of the large manuals.........I'd say one like the Speer Manual and then one Load book for each cartridge is a good way of getting a ton of info.

Sorry forgot to say that load will be for the .270 and it will be shot out of a howa 1500 that has 750 or so rounds down the pipe so far.
