Hey guys I've been loading .223 and 9mm with great results. I recently got a nice Savage .270 and have considered loading for it. Well, I stopped by the Bullet Trap in Plano yesterday to a few rounds through my G19. Now, the ONLY reason i go to the BT is because of their $90/year military membership. If they didn't have that, i would never set foot in that place. Anyway, they're getting out of selling reloading equipment so they have all their components sliced in half...as in 50% off. You can't pass that up!

So i picked up 200 .270 Speer 130gr BTSP, 200 9mm 147gr Speer gold dot hollowpoints, and a set of RCBS .270 dies.

Now, i've been using Varget for .223 and it's worked out great so far. From what i understand, it's a fast-burning powder optimal for short-action cartridges. I only found one load for .270 and Varget, and that was 44-48gr (start to max) and a 3.23" COAL. I loaded up 5 rounds and decided i may switch powders.

Any thoughts? I've been reading that H4831 is good for .270 and 30-06, but i'd like to have a powder i can use for both .270 and .223, but that's not a must. Basically, can i use Varget and/or is there a better choice?
