Gentlemen - I ran across an article in the July 1949 American Rifleman (pg. 39) listing three different loads for the 270 Win. using 109 grain cast bullets (Bond-Loverin GC bullet # 280780) and combining two different powders. I'll cite two examples: 1) 3 grains of “Bullseye” and 19 to 19 grains of “4895” (I'm certain this is NOT H4895, but I do not know whether it is actually IMR4895 or one of its predecessors); 2) 12 to 13 grains of “No. 2400” and 24 grains of “IMR 3031"
Does anyone have any experience with these two specific loads; or does anyone have any experience combining various such powders?
I have always found the American Rifleman to be a good source of information, but I have never seen powders combine in this manner.
Any responses from those who have actual experience with these two, or similar, loads would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
John Piehl
