stag1933 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi GB. Below is the load I use all the time in my Carl Gustaf .270 . Norma Brass, 52gr Viht.N160, Fed. 210GM primer, Speer SPBT 130gr bullet. HWH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stag1933 Posted August 1, 2009 Report Share Posted August 1, 2009 Hi GB. More info. After testing this batch at 100yds I moved the Swaro. scope over 3 clicks [4mm clicks]. Starting a new tub of powder sometimes has this minor problem but this powder is very good. I do not have chrono velocities of this load but I try to load for small groups and not the highest velocity. I have killed 5 species of Deer with it plus various furry and feathered creatures so there is no problem. HWH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenbear Posted August 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Thanks Spud & Stag, Stag your info is exactly what I am after a personal load, not a super hot 'this is the fastest round in the world' load but safe an accurate I will be trying some out in a Browning A Bolt and wil let you know the results many thanks to you both GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stag1933 Posted August 2, 2009 Report Share Posted August 2, 2009 Thanks GB. In `06 I had problems getting the 130gr Speer bullets and was at York Guns. They had no Speer 130gr but did have a couple of scruffy boxes of Hornady 140gr BTSP Ref. No. 2735 which I bought at a very low price. I was pleased to find they too shot very well with the 52gr Viht charge but printed one inch higher on the target. [no problem]. This bullet is still available but a curious thing has happened, the `cannelure` on the bullet is about a quarter of an inch differenty placed on the bullet now with recent stock. They too are accurate and good killers with acceptable damage. HWH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenbear Posted August 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hi Stag I am just setting the loading up for my .270, so will let you knwo how I get on, however it shot Partisan ammo very well this week in Scotland on the Roe. I hope to greatly improve on accuracy with my own loads. thanks again GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stag1933 Posted August 8, 2009 Report Share Posted August 8, 2009 GB. Good luck with it, all rifles are an entity unto themselves and there is no guarantee that what suits one will suit another. Time will tell though ! HWH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
