Sorry to revive an old thread. I, too, am working on developing a load for .270win with the 150gr. SST.

Based on the reloading data from various sources, I have decided to see what I can do with IMR-7828. I will begin with some reasonable loads and work up from there.

My target, of course, is the recommended 2900fps. I am aware that getting that out of a 22" barrel will require me to be at or above max pressure, and I am not particularly confident about doing so.

At listed max pressures, it seems I can expect about 2780fps. Should I just be happy with that?

I'm shooting a Savage 111, BTW.
