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.

This is my load with 130 grain NBTs. Very flat and VERY accurate out to my comfortable distances.

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.
