Greetings.

On this site, I posted my 30-06 update a short time ago. VERY happy with my T3x Laminated stainless. 1.5 lb trigger is superb. Rifle and Vx5-HD are grouping my handloads well under MOA – 5 shot groups. For 5 decades – I load strictly by the numbers in the Reloading Manuals. No desire to change.

The 30-06 has now been joined with another T3x Laminated stainless in .270 Win. 2 identical rifles.

One role of this .270 is for Coyote hunting. Something I’m “told” the 270 “can” excel at with the right bullets and loads. After a LOT of study on this (right or maybe wrong ??), for the long distance work (500+ yards) I skipped the 90 gr and 100 gr options. Putting my faith in the 110 gr V Max for Coyote only. I have my other 130gr / 150 gr bullets chosen for other BG below Elk. The 30-06 handles that work.

Please don’t ask me to consider another cartridge because it would be a more advantageous Varmint cartridge. You’d be right. I very carefully chose and bought this cartridge to be a dual purpose rifle. Am confident I made the right decision and now own it – so let’s stay with the 270. Thanks.

I’m well stocked with both H and IMR 4350’s for my Wiley load development. Asking for any “first-hand” personal .270 experience with this load development using the V Max. Powder? Velocities? Accuracy? Ranges? Your personal Wiley hunting results.

Thank you kindly.

God Bless America!!!

Hopefully you will receive some information as I just acquired a .270 Win. We know every rifle has a different preference for loads but would you please share your favorite 150 gr. recipe with me as I want to load up some to utilize for my November 2025 deer hunting. I’m a big Jack O’Conner fan!

I ran somewhere around 300 110gr V-Max out of my savage stainless 270 wsm. That thing was a lot of fun on coyotes crows and prairie dogs. Very hard on the barrel at 3500fps but fun
