Thanks for reading my post.

For a .270 WSM, that load is way light. Were you looking at standard .270 Win. loading data when you chose that powder charge? For the .270 WSM, Hodgdon suggests a starting load of 58.0 gr of IMR-4350 and Nosler lists 59.0 gr as a starting (and most accurate load tested) with the 130 gr bullet. I have had decent results with IMR-4350 and Reloder 17 with the 130 gr bullets, Vihtavuori N-165 with 140 gr Nosler Accubonds, and Accurate Magpro with 150 gr bullets.
I have shot mostly Nosler Ballistic Tips and Accubonds in the .270WSM. BTW, I never crimp loads used in bolt actions.
Keep us posted. I am about to try some H-1000 with Nosler 150 gr Long Range Accubonds.
