Ordered new moulds today

[Jeff.L]

Ordered a RCBS 7mm 168 gr boolit mould for my Ruger 77 in 7x57.

Ordered a RCBS 277 150 gr boolit mould for my Rem. 270 win.

Any one have any pet loads that work well for them in these cals...
Thanks Jeff:coffee:

I shoot the RCBS 27-150-SP. Load development work is still in progress. I did get good results last fall with 23-25gr H4198 and 30-32gr IMR3031. Chrono'd the 23.0 H4198 load at 1900 FPS (Ruger #1b). I have been oven heat-treating wheelweight alloy for all loads in this rifle. No fillers used.

The RCBS Cast Bullet Manual lists the following
Bullet ...... Powder .. Charge ..... fps
27-150sp Red Dot ... 11.0 ..... 1473
27-150sp Red Dot ... 13.0 ..... 1591
27-150sp SR4759 ... 22.0 ..... 1914
27-150sp SR4759 ... 24.0 ..... 2042
27-150sp IMR4198 . 25.0 ..... 1896
27-150sp IMR4198 . 27.0 ..... 2039
27-150sp IMR3031 . 32.0 ..... 1888
27-150sp IMR3031 . 34.0 ..... 2009

An old Jim Carmichael article on casting for the 270 had the following loads which made it into my notes
Bullet ...... Powder .. Charge ... fps
27-150SP Unique ... 12.0 ...... 1477
27-150SP Unique ... 14.0 ...... 1589
27-150SP H414 ..... 45.0 ...... 2416
