I have shot a .270 loading 150g Noslers to 3000 fps (hot load for most rifles, fine in mine).

Ouch!!! Being Easter weekend, I'll include you in my prayers my friend!

Quite seriously Chuck - I mean this with my most sincere good intentions! PLEASE DO NOT USE THAT LOAD & CALL IT SAFE IN ANY RIFLE. You are 150 fps above SAMI spec and that is NOT SAFE. You cannot beat the law of physics. The only way you can get that velocity with 150 gr bullets in a 270 is to use a 30 inch barrel, improve the case or use a Heavy Magnum load with some secret new powder. You might achieve it with a .275 cal bullet (sub-cal) coated with Molly or Teflon tape.

Your rifle action may be very strong, the chamber tolerances very tight, the bolt does not stick with this load & the primer does not flatten. BUT it is still too hot & you will not get more than 3 reloads from the cases - if that. You are better off using Barnes TSX 130s at 3050 fps

Always shoot through the target & not just at it.
