Can anyone recommend a good powder for .270 I am planning on stocking up on supply's and would like to buy several pounds of powder and would perfer to just buy one that works really well.

You can't beat H4831. It's all I've ever used. Tried a couple others just for fun. They can come close to H4831 but can't outdo it.
-
This is helpful so I can still post. H414....try it you will like it big time. Smoking fast bullet, top accuracy, and all out of a ball powder!

IMR-4831, Reloader-19, IMR-4350 :)
-
4320
-
RL-19 :twocents:
-
well rl19 was mentioned twice so it maybe the one I try. Thanx guys JB
-
If I was going to use a Reloader powder it would RL22. 19 is similar in burn rate to 4350 and 22 is close to 4831. You'll get your highest velocities from either 4831 or RL22.

I like the 4350, it can be used in a lot of cal's. You will want to find what your gun like first before you buy a bunch of powder. :twocents:

My buddy and I have found that the RL-19 works very well for the .270 and 7MM but the Rl-22 seems to work better for the 300WM and larger. :twocents:

Every 7mm I have ever loaded for has loved RL22 :twocents:
-
In my experience, H4831 is perfect for the 270 Win. and H4350 for the 30/06. The 270 needs a little slower powder. Of course the 4350's do work well enough in the 270. I tried it once and had good results, but not good enough to make me switch.

I have tried it as well but had better groups at the same velocity with the 19, I use the 140gr Noslers.

4831 is famous in the .270
But I use accurate 3100

jdb, 4320....or maybe 4320. Another good option is 4320. Some guys like 4320, or 4320. 4320 is a great choice. Have you considered 4320? Another good option is 4320.

Since this one is mentioned more than the others...... :chuckle:

I never even heard of 4320, until now!

IMR-4831 works best for me. Each gun is different though, or each load shall I say. Suppose you buy x amount of powder without knowing though and it doesnt group well for you. Id recommend trying out a 1 lb before commiting to powder that might not be best for you. Most likely you will be able to work something out, but I think the contention is to find what groups best and then go from there.

That's cause I bought it all up for my .270....... :IBCOOL:

I have used IMR-4831 and have had good success with both Hornandy 140gr BTSP (52 gr) and Nosler 130 gr Partitions (54 gr). You can also use RL-19. However, a majority of the manufacturer's reccommend IMR-4831 with it's great accuracy. I'm not saying it's the best, but probably the best place to start. RL-19 is the choice for 30-06 & .338 and RL-22 is the choice for 7mm and 300 Win Mag according to their label.

LOL, I figured you might finally post something if you read this thread, its about time. Welcome to the site :hello: :chuckle:
