Is anyone reloading 130 grain or less loads for the wsm?
If so, what velocities, groups and results in the field are you getting.
Thanks!

I don't have a load for the 130's but I will tell you my load for 140 SPBT Sierra. My gun is a Sako Finnlight and I am running 67.0 grains of IMR7828, CCI BR primers, Winchester Brass. Load is running 3165fps. This is past max load so you must use caution building up to this. I have stuffed 68.5 grains and still no noticeable pressure issues in my gun but accuracy was better at 67.0. IMR7828 is a great powder for the 270WSM

Thanks! I have loaded 140 grain accubonds and had great luck but was wanting to see the speed advantage possible with 130's or 110's

Chuck hawks posted a few loads with IMR 4350 sending a 130gr nearly 3300fps with 63 grains of powder.

Impressive on animals, as well. I have shot deer, pigs, and coyotes with this load. Farthest I have had anything go is about 2 feet... down.
