I just loaded some A5477 130 grain Interlocks and 120 grain SSTs today. Run between 35-36 grains for the 120s and 34-35 grains for the 130s. Expecting between 2400-2500fps. The 120s are way shorter than the 130s. Odd look with such a long case and short bullet. The 120s ended up with a COL of 3.165 per the data I found. Max SAAMI COL for a 270 is 3.34. Using the OAL gauge the 120 maximum in the Rem 700 chamber was 3.296. I could have backed .020, but that short bullet it does not have a lot of real estate to grab, so I am sticking with the recommended length.
For all providing inputs on this exploding on a deer and why am I doing this. I am running the same velocity as the 6.8, so I am not running this at 3000 fps. My reason for this is that I have a beautiful Rem 700 Mountain Rifle in 270. Due to disabilities that I have, and are getting progressively worse, I cannot shoot standard loads. The recoil is too much. So, to keep it from being a safe queen, I am reloading it to be able to use it and deer hunt with it. It is a very beautiful and accurate rifle.
Finished product.
