Can the community help me find new loads for both of my Hunting riffles 270 and 260. I would like to use something that has not much bullet drop in distance. Your help is much appreciated. #newtoreloading#Mexico2017huntingseason
Thanks, Hector Delgado.

For a .270, 130gr Sierra SBT (1820), 56.7gr RE-22 (Sierras accuracy load), Fed 210M primer, 8-15 thousands off lands.

Same here on the 260 load except I'm using 4831sc
142gr Sierra
42.5 4831sc

If you are looking for a hunting load then you might want to consider substituting the Sierra 140 SBT Gameking for the 142 MatchKing.

Thanks for the info i will load these and heat to the shooting range. Happy Holidays

With the 260 i use 44 gtains of IMR 4831 with a 130 Grain bullet and a Fed 210M primer. I have tried Barnes, Berger, Nosler, and Sierra 130 grain and this load has been very good with all of them and hammers a white tail deer. I load them to magazine length in 2 Remingtons and a Tikka and have had zero issues and they shoot 1\2 MOA at 100 meters in all 3 guns if i do my part.
